turnkey-init-fence (inithooks): consider alternate jquery source (alternate CDN? staticly provided? Debian?)

[JedMeister]

Currently the initfence index.html file uses some jquery trickery to determine the host IP or FQDN to display. Currently jquery is being loaded from Google.

Whilst that isn't a huge issue, it's not ideal (some users may have objections on the grounds of privacy).

Debian provide a jquery package so we could use that instead? Although I note that it is 500kb installed. We only require jquery.min.js, which is 136kb, so perhaps we should just bundle a static version of jquery?

Thoughts?

Another option is cloudflare cdn

Great suggestion @qq7 - I think I might swap it out for cloudflare for v15.0 as it's a quick fix and as CloudFlare is specifically a CDN, I imagine that would be acceptable to most users.

FWIW cloudflare is also generally quicker than Google CDN. So from a pragmatic perspective that might also be a good thing.

Having said that, after reading the privacy policy of both Google CDN and Cloudflare, I'm not sure there is much concrete privacy improvement of using Cloudflare over Google. Although I guess there is the perception that Cloudflare is a CDN company, whereas Google is a data mining/advertising company...

Either way, I'm moving this to v15.1 for now.
