Read every setting through viper and rename the settings (closes #211)
Every setting of discriminator and rproxy is read through viper, in place
of the os.LookupEnv function Main passed down. NewViper turns AutomaticEnv
and AllowEmptyEnv on, so a setting that is set but empty reads as set. A
setting may also be given as a file, the _FILE form, which rproxy's
settings now have too; rproxy still writes nothing to disk.

The settings are renamed. Discriminator's take the prefix SWW_WAF_,
rproxy's take SWW_RPROXY_, and the shared SWW_COMMAND keeps SWW_. The Core
Rule Set's settings take SWW_WAF_CORE_RULE_SET_ rather than SWW_WAF_WAF_.
Every place a name appeared changed: the code, the viper keys, tests,
documents, examples, the README's settings table and the image files.

# Admin endpoints
The endpoints under `/_sww/`, what each takes and what each answers.
`sww discriminator` answers them at its own address, on the private network.
"Admin endpoints" in [`SPEC.md`](../SPEC.md) says how their tokens work.
- `GET /_sww/healthz`: `200` and `ok`, to anyone.
- `GET /_sww/metrics`: the metrics, for `SWW_WAF_METRICS_TOKEN` (see
[`metrics.md`](metrics.md)).
- `GET /_sww/bans`: every ban held, under `bans`, each as `bans.json` lists it.
Needs `SWW_WAF_ADMIN_TOKEN`, as do the three below.
- `POST /_sww/bans`: bans a netblock. The body is a JSON object of `netblock`,
`duration` and, if you like, `reason`. `netblock` is a netblock such as
`203.0.113.0/24`, or a client's address, which bans its IPv4 netblock
(`SWW_WAF_BAN_SCOPE_V4_PREFIX`) or its IPv6 group. `duration` is a duration
such as `1h` or `7d`, or `permanent`. A bad body is answered `400`, saying
what is wrong:
- one that is not such an object, or has another field;
- one longer than 4 KiB;
- one that names an IPv4-mapped netblock, or an address with a zone.
- `DELETE /_sww/bans/<client>`: lifts every active ban covering the address
`<client>`. It answers `404` when none is active.
- `GET /_sww/clients/<ip>`: what `discriminator` knows of the client. Under
`client`, its counters and history as `clients.json` holds them, or `null`
when `clients.json` does not hold it. Under `bans`, every ban covering the
address, with its notes.
- `POST /_sww/report`: takes `rproxy`'s report, without a token. It answers
`204`, or `400` to a body that is no report (see "The report" in
[`SPEC.md`](../SPEC.md)).
No check runs on these requests. A missing or wrong token is answered `401`. An
endpoint whose token is unset answers `404`, as does any other path.
`sww rproxy` answers only the health check of these, at its own address. It asks
`discriminator` about any other request under `/_sww/`. One that passes the
checks is answered `404`, so that the app never sees that prefix (see "`rproxy`"
in [`SPEC.md`](../SPEC.md)).
## Examples
With `SWW_WAF_ADMIN_TOKEN` set, the token in `$TOKEN`, and `discriminator`
reached as `discriminator:8080` on its network:
```sh
# Every ban.
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" http://discriminator:8080/_sww/bans
# Ban 203.0.113.0/24 for seven days.
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
--json '{"netblock": "203.0.113.0/24", "duration": "7d", "reason": "probes for logins"}' \
http://discriminator:8080/_sww/bans
# Lift the bans on 203.0.113.9.
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" -X DELETE \
http://discriminator:8080/_sww/bans/203.0.113.9
# What discriminator knows of 203.0.113.9.
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
http://discriminator:8080/_sww/clients/203.0.113.9
```
