Abuse-contact lookup (RDAP) API

Given an IP address or domain, fetch the authoritative RDAP record (keyless rdap.org bootstrap) and walk the nested entity tree to extract the abuse-role contact (email/phone), the network/registry owner, the allocation range and handle, and country — flattening RDAP's painful nested vCard arrays into one 'where do I report abuse' answer. Answers 'who do I report abuse for this IP to', 'abuse contact for this domain', 'who owns this IP range', 'abuse email for a network'.
