dot/gnus-local.el.distorted: Set primary newsserver to chiark for now.

Vampire is still down (mostly because I haven't tried bringing it up
again) and anyway it's sometimes useful to be able to read chiark's
specific groups.

I expect this stanza to (a) change to connect to chiark (or some other
newsserver carrying chiark.*) directly, and (b) be demoted to a
secondary select method at some point.
