zzz 7aa9949332 * Reseeding / NetDb:
- Move reseeding from the routerconsole app to
        the router, so that we can bootstrap an embedded router lacking a routerconsole
        (iMule or android for example), without additional modifications.
        This allows better integration between the reseeding function
        and the netDb.
      - Call reseed from PersistentDataStore, not from the
        routerconsole init, and start seeding as soon as the netdb has read
        the netDb/ directory, not when the console starts.
      - Wake up the netdb reader as soon as reseeding is done,
        rather than waiting up to 60s.
      - Don't display the reseed button on the console until the
        netdb initialization is done.
    * NetDb:
      - Fix an NPE on early shutdown
    * RouterConsoleRunner:
      - Catch a class not found error better

The routerconsole application is an embedable web server / servlet container.
In it there is a bundled routerconsole.war containing JSPs (per jsp/*) that
implement a web based control panel for the router.  This console gives the user
a quick view into how their router is operating and exposes some pages to 
configure it.

The web server itself is Jetty [1] and is contained within the various jar files
under lib/.  To embed this web server and the included router console, the 
startRouter script needs to be updated to include those jar files in the 
class path, plus the router.config needs appropriate entries to start up the
server:

  clientApp.3.main=net.i2p.router.web.RouterConsoleRunner
  clientApp.3.name=webConsole
  clientApp.3.args=7657 0.0.0.0 ./webapps/

That instructs the router to fire up the webserver listening on port 7657 on
all of its interfaces (0.0.0.0), loading up any .war files under the ./webapps/
directory.  The RouterConsoleRunner itself configures the Jetty server to give
the ./webapps/routerconsole.war control over the root context, directing a
request to http://localhost:7657/index.jsp to the routerconsole.war's index.jsp.
Any other .war file will be mounted under their filename's context (e.g. 
myi2p.war would be reachable at http://localhost:7657/myi2p/index.jsp).
