Pithos: a clearer Share dialog, pithos.sia/l links, and a restart prompt after in-place updates

Browse source 
The Share dialog showed a bare code box and repeated its own title. It
now lists the links already made for that file, folder or drive as cards
(address, expiry, file count, Copy, Open, Switch off) above one line to
make another, copies a new link straight away, and also shows the
pithos.sia/l/<id>/<name> form, which Theseus and the pithos.sia site send
on to navigate.st/sia.

After an in-place update Theseus swaps an add-on's files but Node keeps
the modules already loaded, so the engine kept running the old version
while the footer showed the new one (a whole-drive link then failed with
'a file is required'). The engine now reports the version it loaded and
the one installed; when they differ the footer offers Restart to finish.
