Chat - warning when creating public chat and zeronet port closed?

[jaros1]

Public chat messages are not distributed from a comp. with closed port. Same issue for wallets using optional files for wallet to wallet communication.

Check for any siteInfo message when ZeroNet is switching between open and closed port

[jaros1]

Distribute optional files by proxy? create a normal file, distribute to all zeronet peers, one or more other clients with open port transform normal file to an optional file and commits. Client with port closed deletes normal file after distribution as optional file by other clients. Other operations (update, delete)
