mpl 620388bd57 server/camlistored: request a name in camlistore.net
In order to use HTTPS, one must have a certificate, and one must have a
domain name for which the certificate is valid.
The first part is solved by the use of Let's Encrypt. For the second
part, we want to provide to any Camlistore instance a name such as
<gpgKeyId>.camlistore.net, where gpgKeyId is the fingerprint of its GPG
key. The DNS for camlistore.net agrees to add a record for that name if
and only if the Camlistore instance can prove it owns the GPG key, as
well as the IP address bound to that name in the DNS record.

A protocol such as the above is already implemented in pkg/gpgchallenge.

This CL:
- uses the client-side of the gpgchallenge protocol in camlistored, so
that it can claim a hostname in camlistore.net on startup (and then use
that hostname when requesting a certificate from Let's Encrypt).
- adds the configuration parameter "CamliNetIP" for the high-level
config. This parameter specifies the IP address that camlistored will
supply during the gpgpchallenge, so it can  prove to the DNS server that
we own this address.

Fixes #722
