[Dev] Client/Server seperation, the moment of truth.

The ZipTie client no longer automatically starts the server.  What this
means is that henceforth the server must be started by hand.  To do this
essentially all you have to do is after performing an "ant dist dbreset"
cd into /dist/ziptie/<your-os>/ and run the server.sh (or bat for
windows).

Nor does the client automatically setup port forwarding as this is
fundamentally tied to the server.  For the moment port forwarding must
be setup manually.  (The ipredirect.sh still works.)

When you start the client now you will be prompted for connection
information for the server.  To have it automatically use a specific
connection (so you don't have to see the dialog) you can set
"-Dziptie.server.host=<host>".

Brett put together a nice wiki page for running the server...
