better doc for upload helper

Description

Upload helper is described in docs/architecture.txt, but how to configure upload helpers is not documented. For example, Tahoe nodes respond to the presence of a "helper.furl" file in their configuration directory, but this isn't documented in docs/configuration.txt.

(In fact it is, as far as I know, the only such configuration option that isn't documented in that file.)

Also, Chris Goffinet seems to be unsure about how to use upload helpers -- http://allmydata.org/pipermail/tahoe-dev/2008-May/000532.html ("Benefit of upload helper?"). Perhaps he didn't see the note in architecture.txt, or perhaps that note isn't sufficient to help people decide whether and how to use helpers.
