Implement API to allow sharing between instances

[mayeaux]

You should be able to have other instances 'trusted' whereby if your bandwidth is being tapped out you can add the same upload to another instance's server and use it as the CDN.

Only tough part is implementing the API for calculating max bandwidth use and current bandwidth use and from there you can build an algorithm for 'offsetting' those uploads.

Here's how I think getting the bandwidth should be done. Hook into the server's connection event and store the most recent packets in a set amount of time (use the client connection's data event). With that, find the total amount of data within the current second.

Also, store the highest amount of usages to find what might be the max bandwidth.

I thought about this 2 h ago in the shower ahahahah ... and now I just noticed this when i was about to open an issue (a less technical one :)). Awesome idea champs - it will make nodetube more decentralized, especially for non-web developers like me :)
