This PR handles the TypeError that would previously raise (and go uncaught) when
Tahoe.lswas unable to read JSON from the Tahoe-LAFS web API (for example, due to connection problems). With these changes,Tahoe.lswill return aNonetype in such situations that can be handled (more) appropriately by higher-level callers: in the case of attempting (and failing) to list/compare magic-folder backups during a periodic MagicFolderMonitor check, a warning will be logged; in the case of attempting (and failing) to restore a magic-folder backup that cannot be read, a slightly more friendly error message will be propagated to the user.
