Adds locator strings and a locate() method to the daemon's directory abstraction, and thereby hosts and guests. A locator string is a URL of the following form:
Formula identifiers are of the form {formulaNumber}:{nodeIdentifier}. Therefore, we can say that a locator is the URL form of the formula identifier, annotated with the formulaType. If a value is remote, i.e. belonging to a different peer, we set the type query param to remote to indicate this. remote is not a valid formula type in the general case—i.e. there are no formula objects with that type—but perhaps it should be.
Note that the id query param is just the formulaNumber, not the formula identifier. We may address this internal discrepancy in naming by using locators and formula numbers instead of the {formulaNumber}:{nodeIdentifier} construction.
