Fix missing link to distributed hash table wikipedia entry

The phrase "distributed hash table" in projectGoals.md looked as if it
was supposed to include a link, but the brackets were empty. This change
links it to the same wikipedia entry as is used in README.md.

 ## Scalability
 
 Cjdns is built around the bold and unproven assumption that a non-hierarchical
-network can scale. Cjdns uses a [distributed hash table][] to spread the load
-of routing among a number of nodes, rather than requiring every node know the
-exact location of every other node. At the bottom layer, packets are tagged
-with the exact route they should take, think of it like driving directions.
-At the upper layer the nodes maintain and test routes to other nodes who have
-numerically similar IPv6 addresses to their own. Forwarding is achieved by
-sending a packet to physically nearby nodes who have destinations numerically
-close to the target address.
