    Remove the long comment at the end of findloop.c.
    
    This week I expanded that comment into a blog post:
    
      https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/quasiblog/findloop/
    
    which improves on the comment in three ways:
    
      1. diagrams
    
      2. adds a further reason why the footpath-dsf algorithm was
         unsatisfactory, pointed out by a Mastodon comment after I
         published the original version of the blog post
    
      3. adds the punchline that the loop tracing approach _could_ have
         been made to work after all!
    
    So I've deleted the comment and replaced it with a link to the article.
