Arjen abb0701048 feat(node): app-owned TUN seam — embedder owns the fd, FIPS uses channels
Node::enable_app_owned_tun() lets an embedder that owns the TUN fd (e.g. an
Android VpnService) exchange IPv6 packet bytes with FIPS over channels instead of
FIPS creating a system TUN device. It returns (app_outbound_tx, app_inbound_rx):
the embedder pushes packets read from its fd into the outbound sender (app ->
mesh) and pulls packets destined for its fd from the inbound receiver (mesh ->
app). Called after Node::new and before start(), mirroring control_read_handle().

start() now gates TunDevice::create on tun_tx being unset, so when the app-owned
channels are pre-installed it skips system-TUN creation and does no system-TUN
ops. The inbound IPv6-shim delivery already writes to tun_tx, and run_rx_loop
already drains tun_outbound_rx into handle_tun_outbound, so both directions reuse
the existing wiring.

Packets entering via app_outbound_tx bypass the system-TUN reader's
handle_tun_packet, so the embedder must push only fd::/8-destined packets (FIPS no
longer filters the destination) and clamp TCP MSS on outbound SYNs; the rustdoc
and the IPv6-adapter design doc spell this out.

Tests: app_owned_tun_seam_wires_channels covers the channel round-trip and the
Active state; start_skips_system_tun_when_app_owned runs start() and asserts no
named system device is created (tun_name stays unset).
