Johnathan Corgan eadc3257d8 fix(control): report a peer silent past the heartbeat interval as stale
show_peers, and the peer row the tick publishes for the control socket to
serve, printed a peer's connectivity from a state stored on the active peer.
That state starts at connected on promotion and nothing outside the tests
ever changes it, so every peer read connected for as long as it stayed in the
peer map, including one that had stopped answering and was waiting out its
link-dead timeout.

Both render sites now derive the value from how long the peer has been
silent: connected while its idle time is at or below heartbeat_interval_secs,
floored at one second, and stale above it. That is the rule discovery already
applies when deciding whether to re-dial an active peer on the path it
already has, so the rule moves to one helper on Node that the re-dial gate
and both renders call. stale was already one of the field's values, so the
set of values a client can see does not grow, and the response shape is
unchanged. The stored state and its other readers are left as they are.

The open-discovery tutorial described reconnecting and disconnected values
that never occur, and the advertise-your-node tutorial said a new peer would
read active, which the field never reports. Both now describe what the field
reports.

The new tests insert peers last heard from at chosen times and read
show_peers both on the loop and from the tick-published snapshot. Under the
default 10 s interval a peer silent for 15 s reads stale and one heard from
just now reads connected; with a 30 s interval a peer silent for 15 s still
reads connected, so the threshold is the configured interval and not a fixed
ten seconds. Both failed on the unfixed code, which reported the silent peer
as connected. A third test pins the boundary: connected at exactly the
interval, stale one millisecond past it, and a zero interval floored at one
second. Restoring the stored read at either render site alone fails both
show_peers tests on that render, making the comparison inclusive fails the
boundary test, and a fixed ten-second threshold fails the configured-interval
and boundary tests.
