Ryan Ofsky 6593293e47 Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#32110: contrib: document asmap-tool commands more thoroughly
6afffba34e contrib: (asmap) add docs about encode and decode commands (jurraca)
67d5cc2a06 contrib: (asmap) add documentation on diff and diff-addrs commands (jurraca)
e047b1deca contrib: (asmap) add diff-addrs example to README (jurraca)

Pull request description:

  This README was a little sparse in my opinion, and was missing a mention of the `diff-addrs` command.

  The README updates add background and examples for each command, split in two sections (encode/decode and diff/diff-addrs). This is intended to help people know how and when to run the commands available in the `asmap-tool.py` script.

  However, I could use some confirmation on the behavior of the `--fill` flag. It's true that files generated with this flag set cannot be used to diff files after the fact, but i don't quite follow what the fill flag does to make that true. sipa could you maybe provide some insight?
