Reframe the "Duplicate host management" intro around the approach
distinction rather than separate lifecycle scenarios: both mechanisms
address the same underlying problem (same hostkey across multiple
feeders), with distributed cleanup as a source-side cleanup and
handle duplicate hostkeys as a destination-side filter. Note that
neither deduplicates clones reporting to the same feeder, since a
feeder's __hosts table is keyed on hostkey.

The script has since been changed to ask for admin username and
password separately (defaulting to admin) and to prompt for a 2FA
code when the admin account has 2FA enabled. Update the bullet list
and the example console session to match the current prompts.
