Johnathan Corgan ec64a0dce1 Add TCP transport implementation and test harness support
Implement TCP transport for FIPS enabling firewall traversal and serving
as the foundation for future Tor transport. This is the first
connection-oriented transport in the system.

Key design decisions:
- FMP header-based framing: reuses existing 4-byte FMP common prefix for
  packet boundary recovery with zero framing overhead
- Session survives TCP reconnection: Noise/MMP/FSP state bound to npub,
  not TCP connection; MMP liveness is sole authority for peer death
- Connect-on-send: fresh connection on first send, transparent reconnect
- close_connection() trait method for cross-connection deduplication cleanup

New transport files:
- src/transport/tcp/mod.rs: TcpTransport, connection pool, accept loop
- src/transport/tcp/stream.rs: FMP-aware stream reader (shared with Tor)

Modified: transport trait (close_connection), TcpConfig, TransportHandle
match arms, create_transports(), initiate_connection() for connection-
oriented links, cross-connection tie-breaker cleanup, design docs.

Tree announce loop and TCP stability fixes:
- Preserve tree announce rate-limit state across reconnection: carry
  forward last_tree_announce_sent_ms when a peer reconnects so the
  rate-limit window isn't reset to zero
- Drop oversize TCP packets at sender: pre-send MTU check returns
  MtuExceeded instead of writing to the stream, preventing receiver-side
  connection teardown and reset-reconnect cycles

Chaos harness:
- TCP transport support: tcp_edges/has_tcp/tcp_peers in SimTopology,
  transport-aware config_gen with per-edge transport type, TCP port 443,
  pure-TCP node support
- Include all non-Ethernet edges in directed_outbound()
- Fix netem/links log messages to say "IP-based" instead of "UDP"
- Add tcp-chain, tcp-only, and tcp-mesh scenario files

Static harness:
- Transport-aware config generation (get_default_transport, transport_port)
- TCP transport injection via Python post-processing
- Add tcp-chain topology and docker-compose profile
