want easy/standard way to get bzrdir/branch/wt/repository url

[Martin Pool]

If you want to get the url of a branch/bzrdir/repository/wt (we need a name for these, maybe ControlComponent) then at the moment it may be branch._transport._base or similar, and this typically actually points into the .bzr/branch directory, whereas the user wants to see the top.

It would be better if there was something standard and public like 'thing.url' and 'thing.root_url' to get the directory that typically contains the wt, and that's normally appropriate for messages.

there is branch.base, for branches. And for anything other than a
control dir itself there is thing.bzrdir.root_transport.base

Basically I'm just suggesting an easier way to spell that.
