It would be nice if I could type:

 tahoe dump-cap URI:DIR2:a1b2c3d4...

and be told what the storage index is. It would also be nice to have a tool that could take the cap and a nodeid and tell me what the write_enabler is. Also, the cap+nodeid+clientsecret should tell me what the lease renewal/cancel secrets are. The idea is to use this to either locate the shares, or check the share's secrets to see if they are correct. It could also be used (in conjunction with a binary editor) to fix the secrets in a share which was accidentally migrated, see #269.

Of course it should accept caps that start with an http prefix too.
