#1009386 - don't sync the entire contents of the platforms dir to a remote server on server verify. Just ensure the platform dir has been created

This reverts commit 872e4c72e5c01e0dedb4d7178fae7317232e48fc.

re-instate hardcoded aegir version in the two shell scripts, which can't depend on provision already being present.

This reverts commit b40035d93d918a0f220c7f7a8c7f5ae4304daf96.

we still need to update it in the INSTALL.txt and UPGRADE.txt unfortunately

the rationale here is that we're not running as root, and therefore
chown is likely to fail, unless the file already has the right owner,
in which case a chown is not necessary.

To quote chown(2):

       Only a privileged process (Linux: one with the CAP_CHOWN
       capability) may change the owner of a file.  The owner of a
       file may change the group of the file to any group of which
       that owner is a member.  A privileged process (Linux: with
       CAP_CHOWN) may change the group arbitrarily.

So this was just a cause of trouble without any possible benefit
unless we run with capabilities, and we shouldn't assume this (right
now?).

point out that you may need to update OLD_DRUPAL_DIR when running the upgrade script. Fix the AEGIR_IP variable, per #985818

i got tired of stabbing my eyes with inline JSON output so I wrote a
very very simple command that just parses STDIN as a --backend output
command. this can be useful for debugging when calling backend commands
without thinking of removing --backend, or in my case, to pass data
through STDIN as JSON, but still have a proper output.

This reverts commit 299e9b83fdc653b1152e5394799bf99a5ff238c3.

we use webmaster@example.com if we're installing on localhost and
webmaster@$aegir_host otherwise

it's usually the same as the URL, and indeed we default to that now

this shouldn't affect default behavior, which should still create only one backend server.

but it will allow people to specify a --aegir_db_host parameter to change the db server.
