Floris Bruynooghe 23eb3c40ca Turn Bob::expects into an enum and add docs
This turns the Bob::expects field into an enum, removing the old
constants.  It also makes the field private, nothi0ng outside the
securejoin module uses it.

Finally it documents stuff, including a seemingly-unrelated Param.
But that param is used by the securejoin module... It's nice to have
doc tooltips be helpful.
