[Dxspider-support] Moving User Data from 1.55 to 1.57

[Dirk Koopman]

Basically, you just copy the entire, existing, spider tree to the new 
machine. Then, do the master -> mojo upgrade.

Start the node,  it should just bootstrap itself up. All the user data 
will be upgraded automatically (the user file format is completely 
changed to something that doesn't randomly - but very infrequently - 
corrupt itself [and is three times as fast in operation]). It will leave 
the old user file and user_asc files behind so you can just do it again 
if needed - which is really just there for piece of mind.
