Spans staged data among multiple discs

This is the Cedar Backup span tool.  It is intended for use by people who stage
more data than can fit on a single disc.  It allows a user to split staged data
among more than one disc.  It can't be an extension because it requires user
input when switching media.

Most configuration is taken from the Cedar Backup configuration file,
specifically the store section.  A few pieces of configuration are taken
directly from the user.

   Implements the command-line interface for the C{cback-span} script.

   Essentially, this is the "main routine" for the cback-span script.  It does
   all of the argument processing for the script, and then also implements the
   tool functionality.

   This function looks pretty similiar to C{CedarBackup2.cli.cli()}.  It's not
   easy to refactor this code to make it reusable and also readable, so I've
   decided to just live with the duplication.

   A different error code is returned for each type of failure:

      - C{1}: The Python interpreter version is < 2.7
      - C{2}: Error processing command-line arguments
      - C{3}: Error configuring logging

      - C{5}: Backup was interrupted with a CTRL-C or similar
      - C{6}: Error executing other parts of the script

   it is interactive.  Underlying Cedar Backup functionality uses the logging
   mechanism exclusively.
