State what the default blocklist covers (closes #244)
check / check (push) Waiting to run

The default blocklist covers the IPv4 private and reserved ranges, IPv6
loopback, unique local and link-local addresses, and public addresses
that hand credentials to whatever can reach them, without the caller
presenting any. A provider's other services on public addresses, such
as 161.26.0.0/16 and 166.8.0.0/14, are deliberately not on it: they
hand out no credentials that way, reaching them can be legitimate, and
every cloud has some, so a partial list would promise coverage it does
not give.

The README's egress section and the comment above blockedNetworks now
state this rule, so nobody infers wider coverage and a future candidate
can be accepted or refused against it. No list change.

That is all the default blocklist covers: the IPv4 private and reserved
ranges; of IPv6, only loopback (`::1`), unique local addresses
(`fc00::/7`) and link-local addresses (`fe80::/10`); and public
addresses that hand credentials to whatever can reach them, without the
caller presenting any. A cloud provider's other services on public
addresses are not refused. IBM Cloud, for example, serves its DNS
resolvers, package mirrors, time servers and object storage on
`161.26.0.0/16`, and the private endpoints of its own cloud services on
`166.8.0.0/14`. Neither range hands out credentials that way: the token
service among those endpoints issues a token only in exchange for
something the caller presents, such as an API key. Reaching these
services can be a legitimate delivery, and every cloud has some, so a
partial list would promise coverage it does not give.
That default is also inconvenient for the thing webhooker is mostly
for: taking a public webhook and forwarding it to something on your own
network. A container on the same Docker network, a box on `10.x`, a
