Rename discriminator to waf everywhere (closes #312)
The command is now `sww waf`, and the package is `internal/waf`. Types,
functions, files, tests, comments, docs, the Dockerfile, the runit
script, `script/`, compose examples, the log field `waf_line` and the
`X-From-Waf` test header follow. No behaviour changes, and no setting
changes name: rproxy already finds the waf through `SWRP_WAF_BACKEND`.

Done with one `sed -i` (Discriminator and DISCRIMINATOR to WAF,
discriminator to waf) over the files `git grep -i discriminator`
listed, as sneak allowed for this rename, then `git mv` for the
package and files. By hand afterwards: the header's spelling, which
the linter requires, and the padding after `waf` in `sww`'s usage
text.

# Admin endpoints
The endpoints under `/_sww/`, what each takes and what each answers. `sww waf`
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_METRICS_TOKEN` (see
[`metrics.md`](metrics.md)).
- `GET /_sww/bans`: every ban held, under `bans`, each as `bans.json` lists it.
Needs `SWW_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_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 `waf` 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
`waf` 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_ADMIN_TOKEN` set, the token in `$TOKEN`, and `waf` reached as
`waf:8080` on its network:
```sh
# Every ban.
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" http://waf: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://waf:8080/_sww/bans
# Lift the bans on 203.0.113.9.
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" -X DELETE \
http://waf:8080/_sww/bans/203.0.113.9
# What waf knows of 203.0.113.9.
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
http://waf:8080/_sww/clients/203.0.113.9
```
