Ban lists: where Guard and fail2ban ban addresses

A program bans an address (every port, or a protocol's ports) for a
time; the ban list says what it is kept from: the firewall, some hosts
behind it, or everything. Bans drop ahead of every rule, close the
address's connections, group IPv6 by /64, are kept in the database
across restarts and audited. Never banned: the inside, the firewall's
own addresses, the caller, the list's never. bans grant (bans:write:LIST),
hc banlist/bans/ban/unban, Traffic -> Bans, a fail2ban action in contrib/,
and failed logins and refused tokens logged for Guard and fail2ban.
