Merge and remove leafnode.md

Browse Source 
Merge leafnode.md into netnews.md.  The leafnode.md article is
suitable to be in netnews.md, despite tilde.club server not having
the leafnode executable.

Remove leafnode.md . Now only netnews.md file persists.

## News proxies
### leafnode
[Leafnode](http://leafnode.sourceforge.net/) is a software package
that implements a store & forward NNTP proxy (client and server). It
gives a regular newsreader off-line functionality, merges news
articles from several upstream newsservers for newsreaders that only
support one server well, and avoids duplicate news downloads for a
small LAN with multiple users reading news.
Leafnode is suitable for “leaf” nodes, that is, nodes that only pull
from other Netnews nodes.
As of 2026-08-11, `leafnode` is not available as a tilde.club system
executable.
