[as112-ops] Discovering AS112 nodes via RIPE Atlas

[Xun Fan]

Thank Joe for pointing that study!

Yup, after that William did the similar around 2014, and published at
https://www.as112.net/2014-survey.html

I find as112.net has an operator list that seems to be updated fairly
recently, (Dec 7, 2017 ?) at https://www.as112.net/ops-listing.html
