Subject: [PATCH] docs(privacy): disclose the BTCMap layer and how zaps
 identify you

- BTCMap (the Bitcoin-places map layer) sees your IP and the area you're viewing.
- Zaps are public by default: they tie your account/lightning address to the post
  and the tip; notes that a wallet can send them anonymously.
