Draft: (paused) distance result precomputation

Outputs the result of the distance computation for all identities in a json file in the form:

{"block":"0x432a43af2b2aef4ab33ac9a4323b1f084b86388bc46744f7ce5936a5bbcd07f6","results":{"4":4,"1":4,"3":4,"2":4},"referees":4}

This file can be computed regularly and served directly through nginx. This would allow the clients to have a recent estimate of the distance result before requesting evaluation.

removed RN-binary label

Tried it on the current web of trust:

time ./target/release/distance_precompute
4,83s user 0,05s system 86% cpu 5,656 total

About 5 seconds for all identities (including the dead identities without certs anymore). Good enough to run it once an hour or so.

Compare with previous version

added RN-silent label

Not planning to merge this until a clean refac without code duplication is done.
