Add support to bin/tahoe for invoking a runner command prefixed with @, with the Tahoe libraries on the PYTHONPATH. This is documented in 'tahoe debug --help'.

+Another debugging feature is that bin%stahoe allows executing an arbitrary
+"runner" command (typically an installed Python script, such as 'coverage'),
+with the Tahoe libraries on the PYTHONPATH. The runner command name is
+prefixed with '@', and any occurrences of '@tahoe' in its arguments are
+replaced by the full path to the tahoe script.
+
+For example, if 'coverage' is installed and on the PATH, you can use:
+
+    bin%stahoe @coverage run --branch @tahoe debug trial
+
+to get branch coverage for the Tahoe test suite. Or, to run python with
+the -3 option that warns about Python 3 incompatibilities:
+
+    bin%stahoe @python -3 @tahoe command [options]
