This is done now; in the end I did the switch without a maintenance.  
Some data is still copying (should be done in about 4 hours), so it'll 
be slower until then.

Well, no one commented on this, so I propose the following:

* Dumps will go in /store/dumps/<wiki>/
* Page view stats will go in /store/stats/
* Everything else will go in /store/misc/

Symlinks from the old locations will prevent breaking tools which access 
data in its current location.  Projects which need a lot of disk space 
(say, 100GB+) will be able to request a volume at /store/<whatever>/ for 
their files.
