Make the cell configurable. Among other things we need this for is
that you cannot migrate a tabled over when DB format changes, short
of running 2 CLDs.
We also add a few thoughts to the documentation, prompted by re-reading
of the document while adding the clause for<Cell>.

Strictly speaking, this is wrong, but I applied so that we may make
forward progress.
The definition of a "cell" (or "cel") is everything within a single CLD
namespace.
It is a design requirement that any number of separate tabled instances
may be run within a single cell. The differentiating factor is
pathname. Thus, one tabled instance may store files in
cld://cld.mysite.com/table1/
and a totally separate, parallel instance of table may store its files in
cld://cld.mysite.com/table2/
Provisioning another tabled instance should be as simple as creating a
new directory in CLD, and running the tabled/chunkd nodes.
Thus, the user interface should be CLD hostname + pathname, not "cell name."
