fix(wing,server): client names are matched as whole Unicode words; unsafe lists are a startup error (review of #214)
CI / Lint / Test / Vet (pull_request) Successful in 1m3s

- WrapNames bounds the bare name list with Unicode-aware edges instead of \b
  (Go's \b is ASCII-only, so a name with a non-ASCII edge letter such as Åke,
  Société, Ørsted would never have matched), and validates the list on its own:
  it must compile, must not match the empty string, and cannot break out of its
  group ('x)|.*(' compiles alone only if balanced)
- NewRouter refuses any pattern that matches text naming no client
- docs state the whole-word semantics and what is not matched
Mutation-checked. Open decision for Mathias: whole-word versus substring recall
for a confidentiality filter (plurals, CamelCase and digits glued on do not match).

// WrapNames turns a bare list of client names (a regexp alternation such as

// word edges decided by Unicode letters and digits: Go's \b is ASCII-only, so
// with it a name that begins or ends in a letter like Å, é or Ø would never

// only if it is balanced, so it cannot break out of the group it is put in.
