Previously we added a " *" suffix to distinguish the selected/main server
in the list. However in case of an .onion address, anything we put as a
suffix inline is elided/truncated - as the address itself does not fit.
Hence we could instead use a prefix - and then why not use an icon.
`server.net_addr_str()` cuts off the trailing protocol marker, while `str(server)` has it.
`parent.set_server` then called `ServerAddr.from_str_with_inference` trying to guess the just cut off protocol,
but fails if given an IPv6 address.

This fixes the case where the user quits by pressing Ctrl+C,
and some other minor things.
There is still another issue that sometimes causes a segfault during shutdown...
* network-dialog: include protocol in server field
In this way it is now possible again to use plain server connections
without reverting it automatically to tls connections.
* qt network dialog: hide trailing protocol ":s" in TextEdit
This hides some complexity from casual users, while still allowing
advanced users to set the protocol.

Previously all the interfaces used either "t" or "s".
Now the network only tries to use "s" for all interfaces, except for
the main interface, which the user can manually specify to use "t".
(so e.g. if you run with "--server localhost:50002:t", the main server will use "t",
but all the rest will use "s")
If auto_connect is enabled, allow jumping between forks too.
(Previously auto_connect was only switching servers on a given fork,
not across forks)
If there is a preferred fork set, jump to that (and stay);
if there isn't, always jump to the longest fork.
