I noticed that the footnotes section appears as a visible heading when rendered as HTML (e.g. in GitHub), which looks odd because there's nothing below it, so I thought it might be useful to wrap it in an HTML comment so it's only seen by those who view it in its text form. Feel free to close this PR if you disagree though!
These point to the same host (same IP address) as before, but the new names
are tied to the project's official domain (magic-wormhole.io), rather than my
personal one, so they can be managed independently.
This improves the websocket-based Rendezvous Server protocol, making it
possible for a future client to maintain a Wormhole connection despite the
individual websocket connection being temporarily dropped, or the server
being restarted.

at least by the same side. This forces the contour of claims (by any given
side) to be strictly unclaimed -> claimed -> released. The "claim"
action (unclaimed -> claimed) is idempotent and can be repeated arbitrarily,
as long as they happen on separate websocket connections. Likewise for the
"release" action (unclaimed -> released). But once a side releases a
nameplate, it should never roll so far back that it tries to claim it again,
especially because the first claim causes a mailbox to be allocated, and if
we manage to allocate two different mailboxes for a single nameplate, then
we've thrown idempotency out the window.
and make it possible to call release() even though you haven't called claim()
on that particular socket (releasing a claim that was made on some previous
websocket).
This should enable reconnecting clients, as well as intermittently-connected
"offline" clients.

This should leave stdout clean for use in `foo | wormhole send --text=-` and
`wormhole rx CODE >foo`, although the forms that want interactive code entry
probably won't work that way.

* Previously, we only connected to the relay supplied by our partner, which
meant that if our relay differed from theirs, we'd never connect
* But we must de-duplicate the relays because when our relay *is* the same as
theirs, we'd have two copies, which means two connections. Now that we
deliver sided handshakes, we can tolerate that (previously, our two
connections would be matched with each other), but it's still wasteful.
This also fixes our handling of relay hints to accept multiple specific
endpoints in each RelayHint. The idea here is that we might know multiple
addresses for a single relay (maybe one IPv4, one IPv6, a Tor .onion, and an
I2P address). Any one connection is good enough, and the connections we can
try depend upon what local interfaces we discover. So a clever implementation
could refrain from making some of those connections when it knows the sibling
hints are just as good. However we might still have multiple relays entirely,
for which it is *not* sufficient to connect to just one.
The change is to create and process RelayV1Hint objects properly, and to set
the connection loop to try every endpoint inside each RelayV1Hint. This is
not "clever" (we could nominally make fewer connection attempts), but it's
plenty good for now.
