Clean up documentation about Alt-Svc HTTP header (#4159)
* Clean up documentation about Alt-Svc HTTP header Some content had been added that described the Alt-Svc header as having the purpose of “separating the identity and location of a resource”. But that’s a misleading description — because what the Alt-Svc header is really about is, allowing a server to indicate that a particular resource should be loaded from a different server — while still appearing to the user as if were loaded from the same server. See https://www.mnot.net/blog/2016/03/09/alt-svc for a great overview. So this change: * Replaces the summary in the Alt-Svc article itself, while adding a See Also link to that https://www.mnot.net/blog/2016/03/09/alt-svc article. * Rewrites the description of Alt-Svc in the “Basics of HTTP” article. * Removes mention of Alt-Svc from the “Identifying resources on the Web” article. That article is entirely about URLs and their constituent parts; e.g., their path parts. Alt-Svc is not about URLs — it is about origins (host/protocol/port) and has nothing do with, e.g., path parts. So Alt-Svc doesn’t belong there; it’s a non sequitur there. * Removes mention of Alt-Svc from the “Resources and URIs” article, for reasons similar to the reasons for removing it from the “Identifying resources on the Web” article. Fixes #4125 * Drop Alt-Svc link form “Basics of HTTP” doc
