1425	blacklist support	warner	warner	"For various reasons, webapi gateway operators might want to have the ability to deny access to specific files. Putting this directly in tahoe, rather than obligating these operators to run a frontend proxy (like apache or nginx or something), will make it easier for everyone to use.

The attached patch creates a blacklist file, with a list of storage-index strings and a reason for each. Any webapi operation (indeed *any* operation, so FTP/SFTP too) that tries to access a node with one of the given SIs will throw an exception that contains the reason. The webapi frontend translates this exception into an HTTP ""403 Forbidden"" response.
