Refuse [::], 0.0.0.0, IPv6 multicast and documentation space (closes #341)
check / check (push) Waiting to run

On the build host a connection to [::] reaches a listener on ::1, and one to 0.0.0.0 reaches 127.0.0.1, so a delivery target at either reached this host's loopback past the guard. 0.0.0.0/32 and ::/128 are now in alwaysBlockedNetworks, which no allowlist opens; an allowlist reaches loopback only through an entry covering a loopback address. IPv6 multicast (ff00::/8) and documentation space (2001:db8::/32) are refused by default and reopen when listed.

Every default blocklist entry has a one-line comment, each list is pinned on its own, and tests refuse each address at target creation and at delivery. The README and the rules above each list match.
