Subject: [PATCH] Remove zaphod.alloy.ee hub from default server list: (#4903)

Remove the zaphod.alloy.ee hubs from the bootstrap and default configuration after 5 years. It has been an honor to run these servers, but it is now time for another entity to step into this role.

The zaphod servers will be taken offline in a phased manner keeping all those who have peering arrangements informed.

These would be the preferred attributes of a boostrap set of hubs:

    1. Commitment to run the hubs for a minimum of 2 years
    2. Highly available
    3. Geographically dispersed
    4. Secure and up to date
    5. Committed to ensure that peering information is kept private
