Add IBM to the list of references
Some checks failed
Queries per Second shields.io badge / update-qps-gist (push) Has been cancelled
Nameservers / check-dns (push) Has been cancelled
CI Tests / build (push) Has been cancelled

When IBM's quad9 (9.9.9.9) blocked us, we opened a ticket with them to
unblock us, and to make it easier for me to cut-and-paste the references
the next time I open a ticket, I incorporated the references into the
blurb at the top of the sslip.io homepage.

Drive-by:

I reformatted the homepage after modifying the VS Code setting, so this
appears to a be a bigger commit than it actually is:

```json
"html.format.preserveNewLines": false
```
