David A. Harding 206ee88a26 CH04::vanity addresses: update, drop code, clarify security/privacy
- Explain why almost nobody uses vanity addresses any more---HD wallets
  killed them, plus they suck for privacy.

- Remove example code.  It's only useful for base58check addresses, but
  those are no longer recommended and (as mentioned above) almost nobody
  uses vanity addresses any more, so there's not much point in updating
  it for bech32(m).

- Remove vanity address security section with unvetted security claims.

- Replace outdated claim about miners using GPUs.

- Remove specific amount for cost of vanity address pooling and URL for
  a pool.  That pool doesn't work, I don't know of any others, and I
  have no idea what the pricing would be even if there were existing
  pools.
