clawbot 1b83d25c80 Say how to allow a refused private target address (closes #398)
check / check (push) Waiting to run
Adding or editing an http or slack target whose address is private or
reserved was refused with no hint that the refusal is deliberate or
that it can be lifted. The refusal now adds that such addresses are
refused by default and that the server's ALLOWED_EGRESS_CIDRS setting
allows named networks, naming the README section "Allowing egress to
your own network". Link-local and cloud metadata refusals, which no
setting can lift, are unchanged.

The delivery package's blocked-address error is exported so the
handler can tell this refusal from the others.
