New reverse zone: pick from the networks your records use, sized around them

The Zones page's New reverse zone lists every network the records use without a reverse zone, in every view, also where nothing is suggested (suggestions off, dismissed, public views), marked. Picking one fills in the network and view; size buttons (/48 /56 /64 /128, /16 /24 /32) re-mask it around a record's address, so a /48 becomes the records' own /64. Fill stays on. jarl zone suggest-reverse --all [--view V]; GET /reverse-zones/suggestions?all=1&view=.
