Revert "p2p --link now defaults to setting up a bi-directional link"

This reverts commit 3037feb1bf.

On second thought, this was an overcomplication of what should be the
lowest-level primitive. Let's build bi-directional links at the pairing
level with eg magic wormhole.

Any number of peers can be connected this way, within reason.
You can also generate an address for this new peer, by running `git annex
p2p --gen-addresses`, and link other peers to that address using `git annex
p2p --link`. It's often useful to link peers up in both directions,
so peer1 is a remote of peer2 and peer2 is a remote of peer1.
(When the second peer links to it, the first peer also
gets a new remote added to it, which points to the second peer.
So, on the first peer, you can also sync with the second peer.
The name of the that remote will be "peer1", or "peer2", etc.)
