Throw identify-node-by-nickname down the memory hole
Authorities are no longer voting on Named, so specifying nodes by nickname isn't a clever thing to do. (Not that it ever was!) So remove the documentation that suggests that you should do it. Additionally, add proper cross-references to our __node__ lists, and explain about the optional $ before identity digests. Also, the oxford comma: endorsed by Steven Pinker, my spouse, and my 11th grade English teacher. Closes 13381.

+ o Documentation:
+ - Stop suggesting that users specify nodes by nickname: it isn't a
+ good idea. Also, properly cross-reference how to specify nodes
+ in all parts of the manual for options that take a list of
+ nodes. Closes ticket 13381.
