Add an argument `-a` to provide a asmap file to do the IP to ASN lookups. This speeds up the script greatly, and makes the output deterministic. Also removes the dependency on `dns.lookup`. I've annotated the output with ASxxxx comments to provide a way to verify the functionality. For now I've added instructions in README.md to download and use the `demo.map` from the asmap repository. When we have some other mechanism for distributing asmap files we could switch to that. This continues #24824. I've removed all the fallbacks and extra complexity, as everyone will be using the same instructions anyway.
