Claude 9d0a7ead7a fix(quic): packet codec hostile-input validation + RFC-correct Initial padding
Round-2 audit found I'd only fixed varint-truncation in Frame.kt, not in
LongHeaderPacket. Plus the datagram padding was wire-illegal AND broke
our own short-header receive path.

LongHeaderPacket.parseAndDecrypt + peekHeader:
  - Both tokenLen and length now validated against r.remaining BEFORE
    .toInt() truncation. Hostile peer sending length=2^62-1 → return null
    instead of OOM/crash.
  - dcidLen and scidLen validated 1..20 per RFC 9000 §17.2.
  - peekHeader correctly handles Retry packets (no token-length, no
    length, no packet-number fields per RFC 9000 §17.2.5) — returns
    PeekedHeader with totalLength = bytes.size - offset instead of
    reading nonexistent length field as garbage.

Buffer.ensure: doubling loop spins forever if buf.size == 0. coerce
starting newSize to ≥ 8 so the loop always terminates.

QuicConnectionWriter Initial padding (RFC 9000 §14.1):
  Previously: built packets, computed datagram size, appended trailing
  zero bytes after the last packet to reach 1200. That's wire-illegal
  (RFC says PADDING frames inside the encryption envelope) AND breaks
  our own short-header receiver because ShortHeaderPacket.parseAndDecrypt
  uses bytes.size as packetEnd → AEAD authentication includes the trailing
  zeros and fails.

  Now: two-pass build. Phase 1 collects ACK+CRYPTO frames per level into
  local lists (single takeChunk per level), builds natural-size packets.
  If Initial is present and total < 1200, rewinds the Initial PN and
  rebuilds with PADDING bytes appended to the encrypted payload. PADDING
  is one 0x00 byte per frame so concatenating N zero bytes inside the
  payload is N valid PADDING frames — the receiver collapses them to
  nothing during decode.

  PacketNumberSpaceState.rewindOutboundForRebuild() supports the rebuild.

InMemoryQuicPipe handshake test still passes — verifies the receiver
correctly accepts our new PADDING-frame Initials.
