fipstop: add "Listening on fips0" panel to Node tab

Surfaces local services reachable from the mesh, paired with their
current `inet fips` baseline filter classification. Lands to the
right of the existing TUN section in the Traffic block.

A new daemon control query `show_listening_sockets` returns IPv6
listeners bound to either `::` (wildcard) or the node's fd00::/8
address, each classified as Accept / Drop / Unknown / NoFirewall
against the running inbound chain. fipstop renders the result as a
table beside the Traffic counters: Accept rows in default White,
Drop / Unknown in DarkGray, a yellow banner above the table when
`fips-firewall.service` is inactive, and a trailing `*` on
wildcard binds to remind the operator the bind is not
fips0-specific.

Daemon side:

- `src/control/listening.rs` walks `/proc/net/tcp6` and
  `/proc/net/udp6` via the procfs crate (LISTEN state for TCP,
  wildcard remote for UDP), filters to fips0-reachable binds, and
  resolves inodes to PID / comm via `/proc/<pid>/fd`.

- `src/control/firewall_state.rs` shells out to
  `nft -j list table inet fips` and walks the inbound chain.
  Recognises canonical accepts (`tcp/udp dport N accept`,
  `dport { ... } accept`, `dport A-B accept`), the iifname-scoping
  line, conntrack and icmpv6 lines (skipped). Any rule with
  unrecognised matchers (saddr filters, jumps, daddr filters) or
  non-terminal verdicts forces Unknown classification for the
  ports it references. Eleven unit tests cover the classification
  logic; the listening enumerator carries a /proc-parsing test of
  its own.

- `show_listening_sockets` emits
  `{fips0_addr, firewall_active, sockets[]}` with per-row
  `{proto, local_addr, port, pid, process, filter, wildcard_bind}`.

fipstop side:

- `src/bin/fipstop/ui/dashboard.rs` splits the Traffic block into
  a 50/50 horizontal layout; the existing TUN + Forwarded panel
  occupies the left half.

- `src/bin/fipstop/ui/listening.rs` renders the right half.

- `main.rs` fetches the new query each tick when the Node tab is
  active. Errors are non-fatal: an old daemon without the query
  leaves the payload at None and the panel renders "loading...".

`Cargo.toml` gains `procfs = "0.18"` on the Linux target. IPv4
listeners are not enumerated — fips0 is IPv6-only.

Folded in: revert the default-socket lookup from writability-probe
back to existence-based selection. The previous tempfile-probe on
`/run/fips` silently steered fipstop / fipsctl onto an XDG path
the daemon never bound for any user in the `fips` group whose
shell session had not yet picked up the supplementary group (no
re-login after `usermod -aG`). `XDG_RUNTIME_DIR` is set on every
modern systemd-managed user session, so this hit the common case.
The kernel checks actual group membership at `connect(2)`, so a
user who genuinely cannot connect now gets a clear `EACCES`
rather than a silent path mismatch. Drops the now-unused
`is_writable_dir` helper. `XDG_RUNTIME_DIR` existence validation
is preserved.

Documentation:

- `docs/reference/cli-fipstop.md` — Node-tab row updated, new
  "Listening on fips0 panel" section.
- `docs/reference/control-socket.md` — `show_listening_sockets`
  added to the read-only queries table.
- `docs/how-to/enable-mesh-firewall.md` — new "Verify with
  fipstop" section.
- `docs/tutorials/host-a-service.md` — fipstop callouts at
  Steps 3, 5, 6 + Troubleshooting bullet + wildcard-bind reminder
  under "What you've learned".
- `CHANGELOG.md` — new bullet under `Added / Operator Tooling`,
  resolver `Fixed` entry rewritten to describe the
  existence-based final shape.

## Listening on fips0 panel (Node tab)
The right half of the Node tab's Traffic block lists local IPv6
listening sockets reachable from `fips0`, paired with the current
`inet fips` baseline filter classification for each (proto, port).
The panel exists to remind the operator which local services are
exposed to the mesh and which of those are admitted by the
default-deny firewall.
| Column | Meaning |
| ------ | ------- |
| **Proto** | `tcp` or `udp`. IPv4 listeners are not enumerated; `fips0` is IPv6-only. |
| **Port** | Listening port number. |
| **Process** | `comm(pid)` resolved by walking `/proc/<pid>/fd/`. A trailing `*` marks wildcard binds (`local_addr == ::`) — the bind is not fips0-specific, so the operator sees that the service is exposed across every interface, not just the mesh. |
| **State** | `OPEN` (default White) — the baseline filter has a canonical accept rule for this (proto, port). `filt` (DarkGray) — chain falls through to `counter drop`. `filt?` (DarkGray) — a rule references the port but uses matchers (saddr filter, jump, daddr) the panel cannot fully decompose; operator should `nft list table inet fips` to confirm. |
When `fips-firewall.service` is **not** active, the `inet fips`
table is absent. The panel renders every row in default White and
replaces the title with a yellow banner reading
"`Listening on fips0 fips-firewall.service inactive — all listeners exposed`".
The panel is read-only and unselectable. It refreshes on the same
poll tick as the rest of the Node tab. Sockets owned by other users
that the daemon could not resolve to a PID render as `?` in the
Process column; this only happens if the daemon itself is running
without root privileges (an unusual dev setup), since walking
`/proc/<pid>/fd/` for processes the daemon does not own requires
elevated capabilities.
The panel is Linux-only; on non-Linux daemons the query returns an
empty list and the panel hides.
