Explain name importation and its relevance to securely hosting .bit domains #4

Name importation is important for securely hosting .bit domains, so it should be explained on the site.

Rough explanation (copied and pasted from an e-mail from me to indolering):

"If you need the ability to change the IP address from a hot wallet, the IP address should be in a dd/ name, which is imported into a d/ name. The d/ name should specify a TLS fingerprint, and should not be in a hot wallet. In the event that the hot wallet is compromised and the dd/ name is hijacked, your website will display a TLS error until you register a new dd/ name, but your .bit domain will not be stolen, and your visitors will not be MITM'ed (unless they're stupid enough to click through the TLS error)."

Should go into the wiki, too.
