wss://tracker.btorrent.xyz/ is no longer available and is triggering AVG warnings

See original GitHub issue

The following error appears consistently in the logs when using the current minified API. The reason is because the developer no longer has the webtorrent tracker server online:

bugout.min.js:11 WebSocket connection to 'wss://tracker.btorrent.xyz/' failed: Error during WebSocket handshake: Unexpected response code: 522

Also, for users who have AVG Free installed (potentially other AV software), that URL is triggering a URL:Blacklist warning (see below screenshot).

Might I suggest updating the Readme and/or API documentation with some suggested webtorrent trackers that could be used with the announce field per #14 , and remove hard coded trackers from the API?

@vrboy When you instantiate your Bugout object you pass in the announce argument:

var b = Bugout(identifier_or_room_name, {"announce": ["https://YOUR-TRACKER-HERE..."]});

There are only a few trackers out there and if none of them work you have to run your own. This is a bad situation and it is why I am working on this: https://github.com/chr15m/webrtc-signaling-mesh

Stay tuned.
