Johnathan Corgan 674c7fe1ff UDP transport: outbound_only mode, accept_connections, loopback validation
Three related UDP transport changes that together close a real gap in
the v0.2.x "this transport accepts inbound" assumption:

- outbound_only (default false). When true, the transport binds a
  kernel-assigned ephemeral port (0.0.0.0:0) regardless of the
  configured bind_addr, refuses inbound handshakes (Transport trait's
  accept_connections() returns false), and is never advertised on
  Nostr regardless of advertise_on_nostr. Lets a node participate in
  the mesh as a pure client — initiate outbound links without
  exposing an inbound listener on a known port. Also closes the
  "loopback bind as outbound-only workaround" trap: a UDP socket
  bound to 127.0.0.1 pins 127.0.0.1 as the source IP on outbound
  packets, and Linux refuses to deliver such packets out an external
  interface — the daemon happily reports "transport started" while
  no flow ever reaches an external peer.

- accept_connections (default true). Mirrors the existing
  Ethernet/BLE knob. Lets operators run UDP in a "client" posture
  (initiate outbound, refuse inbound msg1 from new addresses) without
  switching transport. The Node-level handshake gate already carves
  out msg1 from peers established on the transport so rekey works
  on existing sessions.

- Startup validation: reject `transports.udp[*].bind_addr` set to a
  loopback address (127.x.x.x, ::1, localhost) when at least one peer
  has a non-loopback UDP address. Replaces the silent "peer link
  won't establish" failure mode with a clear error pointing at the
  bind misconfiguration. outbound_only is exempt (it overrides
  bind_addr to 0.0.0.0:0).

The is_punch_packet-based filter from the previous commit, the
Node-level admission gate landed earlier on master, and these new
config fields together cover the three distinct ways the v0.2.x
"this transport accepts inbound" assumption could break.

Tests: validation truth table (loopback+external rejected,
loopback+loopback ok, outbound_only exempt), is_loopback_addr_str
helper, accept_connections wiring (default, explicit-false,
outbound_only-forces-false), end-to-end ephemeral-bind in the runtime.
1082 tests pass with --features nostr-discovery.
