Add best-effort geolocation to the IP lookup from geojs and DB-IP City Lite (closes #239)

Each result gains `geo`. One request to geojs carries every address, 1 second in all. On a timeout, an error or an answer with no country, city or coordinates, the lookup reads DB-IP City Lite, downloaded monthly into the state directory. geojs answers stay in memory (250,000, least recently used dropped) and in a new `cache.db` table for 7 days. Judgement call: a reserved address goes to neither source, and its `geo` is null. Judgement call: `updated` for DB-IP is when the copy was downloaded. Deviation: the cache is SQLite, by sneak's words. Model: opus-5-5

 - It keeps answers for at most 250,000 addresses, and keeps no answer for a new
  address while it holds that many.

+## Geolocation
+
+An IP lookup finds where each address is, on a best-effort basis. It uses two
+sources:
+
+- [geojs](https://www.geojs.io/) is asked first. One request carries every
+  address of the lookup, and it has 1 second to answer.
+- [DB-IP City Lite](https://db-ip.com/db/download/ip-to-city-lite) answers when
+  geojs has no answer for the address. It is a database file that RouteWatch
+  reads itself.
+
+geojs has no answer when its request fails or runs out of time. An answer with
+no country, city or coordinates also counts as no answer, and RouteWatch does
+not cache it.
+
+The `geo` object of a result has these fields:
+
+- `country_code`: the two-letter country code
+- `country`: the country's name in English
+- `continent_code`: the two-letter continent code
+- `region`: the region or state
+- `city`: the city
+- `latitude` and `longitude`: the location in degrees
+- `accuracy_radius_km`: how far from that location the address may be, in km
+- `time_zone`: the time zone's name, such as `Europe/Berlin`
+- `source`: the source of the answer, `geojs` or `dbip`
+- `updated`: when the answer was fetched from geojs, or when the database copy
+  was downloaded
+
+A field the source does not know is null. DB-IP has no `accuracy_radius_km` and
+no `time_zone`, so both are null in its answers. `geo` itself is null when
+neither source answers. A reserved address, one whose `is_bogon` flag is true,
+goes to neither source, so its `geo` is null.
+
+What goes outside: geojs receives each address that the cache does not hold. For
+`/ip/` and the home page, that address is the visitor's own. A lookup answered
+from the cache sends nothing. DB-IP receives only the monthly request for its
+file.
+
+How RouteWatch keeps the answers of geojs:
+
+- It holds at most 250,000 addresses in memory, and drops the least recently
+  used first. That takes about 100 MB of the Go heap.
+- It writes new answers every 5 seconds to `cache.db` in the state directory.
+- It loads the newest 250,000 answers from `cache.db` at startup.
+- An address not in memory is read from `cache.db` before geojs is asked.
+- An answer expires 7 days after its fetch. Every 10 minutes RouteWatch deletes
+  expired answers from memory and from `cache.db`.
+
+Answers from the database are not cached, because reading the file is local.
+
+How RouteWatch keeps the database:
+
+- It keeps one copy in the state directory, named `dbip-city-lite.mmdb`.
+- It downloads the current month's file at the first start, and then once a
+  month. Until the first download finishes, only geojs answers.
+- A download fails when it takes over 10 minutes or unpacks to over 200 MiB.
+- A new file replaces the old copy only once it opens. After a failed download
+  RouteWatch keeps the old copy and tries again an hour later.
+- The file is about 130 MB. RouteWatch maps it into memory, outside the Go heap.
+  The kernel loads the parts that are read, and can drop them again when memory
+  is short.
+
+The home page's footer says "IP Geolocation by DB-IP" with a link to
+[db-ip.com](https://db-ip.com).
