Summary

This PR removes the old definition of dweb: URI and provides context about ongoing discussions.

Motivation

Discussion in #150 identified alternative variant of dweb protocol handler that maintains Origin-based isolation. There is also an exploration into .dweb TLD that could serve similar purpose.

Removing the dweb: URI from the spec decreases the list of requirements for browser vendors and does not lock us into specific version of shared dweb namespace (it needs revisiting before being added back to the spec).

This removes the old definition of `dweb:` URI
and provides context about ongoing discussions.

Should we also remove this from IPFS Desktop's handlers too?

@hacdias I believe we should keep existing code in Companion / Desktop. Handlers are pretty stealth.
If we decide canonical dweb: to be something else than existing implementation, then we have less work to do.
