webapp: Remove support for local pairing
As a feature only supported by the webapp, and not by git-annex at the
command line, this is by now a very obscure corner of git-annex, and not
one I want to keep maintaining.

It's worth removing it to avoid the security expsure alone. People using
the assistant w/o the webapp probably don't expect it to be listening on
a UDP port for a handrolled protocol, but it was.

The webapp has supported pairing via magic-wormhole since 2016, which
makes a link including between local computers, albeit with the overhead
of tor. That sort of covers the same use case. Of course advanced users
can easily enough add a ssh remote to their repository themselves, using
a hostname on the local network.

git-annex-p2p-iroh would be a great alternative, since it should
communicate over LAN when both computers are on the same one. Before
supporting that in the webapp, dumbpipe would need to be reasonably
likely to be installed.
