Offer Use now from the finished test's own order

The fix review found Use now could still point the wrong way: the button was
worked out from per-address ranks in the devices list while the test was still
running (a better-ranked address might yet answer), and the test's successes
changed those ranks before the list was reloaded.

The test now finishes by publishing the order a reconnect on this network would
try, worked out after it has recorded where each address works, together with
the network it ran on. The page offers Use now only once the test is done, only
for that network, and only on the first address in that order that passed. The
ranks in the devices list are gone again. docs/devices.md no longer promises
where a reconnect lands: a slow address loses to a later one.
