Added a note about Global Discovery and Relaying features in Syncthing.

For the record, the part about global discovery isn't correct. The discovery server is run and operated by the Syncthing Foundation, and not by any third-parties (unless you change the default settings to use your own discovery server, etc.). |
Clarify the default behavior of Syncthing's discovery server and the potential for antivirus flags.

When I tried SyncThing a while back, MalwareBytes threw up a warning about a bad ip address and hackers, so I abandoned it out of caution. So mentioning this upfront might be helpful - could make it shorter.
