Remotes

A remote is another Hoista you use from here: on a server, in Docker, or at Railway or Fly.io, running while this computer is off. The list is shared with the desktop app. hoist remote use NAME makes every command after it go there; --remote NAME does it for one command; this-computer comes back.
