See the document you asked me to write: notes/wc-ng/externals

They live in NODES now, but not after we bump to format 29. (They can/will
probably survive in ACTUAL_NODES as they share the same path anyway)

After we bump to format 29 file externals will be "just like normal
externals". They won't be part of the parent working copy NODES tree. (And
can come from different repositories; can be placed in subdirs; etc. etc.).

But of course they will still share the parent wc's db and pristine store as
they can't have their own administrative area.
