feat(nesdoctor): ask about the other Linux box while we still can

Browse Source 
Our first respondent answered `otherlinux=yes` -- they have a Linux machine --
and their Windows desktop came back CLIENT, which is a dead end. The Linux box
is the result we have none of.

There is no way to ask them. A submission carries no hostname, no address and
no name, by design, so the moment the program exits whoever ran it is anonymous
and unreachable. That is the correct trade and it is not being changed. What
was wrong is that the program knew about the other machine *while they were
still reading* and said nothing.

So when someone answers that they have, or could set up, a Linux machine and
this one cannot host, the run now ends by asking for it -- with the command,
and with the reason stated plainly: nearly every result is a client, a host has
to be Linux with KVM, and one run over there is worth more than a hundred of
these. Including why we cannot follow up, since that is the honest argument for
doing it now.

The nudge is suppressed when the machine already qualifies as a host, because
then it is noise.
