Freenet 0.7.5 build 1434

Build 1434 is now available. Please let us know if auto-update doesn't work.

Changes include:
- Major optimisation to datastore disk I/O. We now cache writes for up to 5 minutes, and then write them all at once, greatly reducing disk I/O. By default this is a 1MB cache per store (there are 9 iirc), but the default depends on the available memory.
- Major optimisation to datastore disk I/O on new nodes: The "slot filters", a structure that keeps track of which blocks have what in, is now filled correctly when creating a new node. This should substantially reduce disk seeking on new nodes.
- Minor optimisations to disk I/O related to node-throttle.dat, client-throttle.dat, and the bookmarks file.
- Fix bogus SSK collisions in some cases. Not sure what the impact of this will be but it could be a small help with messaging apps etc.
- Minor changes to memory-based autoconfig of limits. In particular nodes with 192M or less will use 400 threads rather than 500.
- The max datastore size in the wizard is also slightly smaller for a given amount of memory (we keep the slot filters in memory so a huge store on a small memory limit can break). But show 200G, 300G, 500G size options in the dropdown if possible.
- Fix simple/advanced toggle not working immediately on the web interface.
- Various internal code cleanups.
- Fix FCP AddPeer command.
- Fix "ignore local vs remote bandwidth liability" advanced config option not persisting.
- Optimise IP to country code and handle a corrupt data file better
- Use slightly smaller packets to ensure we don't fragment on IPv6.
- Partial support for detecting IPv4 and IPv6 packet sizes separately. Not finished.
- Fix a NullPointerException on the console interface.
- Small Polish translation update.
- Plugin authors note: UserAlert.getUserIdentifier() is gone.
