roots: an epoch's root pinned, and named in every handshake
Review 2, N7, the care it raised: a joining node's empty document took
as the first epoch's root whatever dependency-less change came first,
from whichever peer it joined through; the first epoch's ID is all
zeros, so nothing pinned it. A remake's epoch has its ID, the snapshot
change's hash, which the rules hold its root to.
* Every node names its epoch's root in HELLO and HELLO_REPLY (the
epoch's ID for a remake's, its genesis change for the first; wire
version 45). A node whose document starts from another root of the
same epoch refuses the handshake, logging it: another history under
the swarm's ID, a forged root or a genesis started again.
* A joining node with an empty document takes as its root only the one
it was given (--genesis-root, new), else the one its peers name, and
none while they name different ones (access::screen::RootPin, kept
in Screening across documents): one peer hands it another root only
if it is all the joiner hears, or never, with --genesis-root. A root
refused is listed with the refused, what builds on it with it.
* The genesis node logs the root (`The swarm's root`); GET
/admin/epochs shows it (`root`).
A genesis started again under a remembered swarm ID used to merge with
the nodes of it still running; they now refuse it (another root), and
the docs say to join them with seeds instead.
The epoch's identity stays as it is (generation 0 all zeros): records
and epoch metadata name it so, and every comparison of epochs with
them.
