## FLP Wire Format Revision

Replace the 1-byte discriminator with a structured wire format:

- 4-byte common prefix (ver+phase, flags, payload_len) and 16-byte
  established frame header with AEAD AAD binding
- 5-byte encrypted inner header (4-byte session-relative timestamp +
  1-byte message type) on all link messages
- Phase-based packet dispatch replacing discriminator-based dispatch
- SessionDatagram reassigned from type 0x40 to 0x00; add SenderReport
  (0x01) and ReceiverReport (0x02) message types for MMP
- SessionDatagram: rename hop_limit to ttl, add path_mtu field (u16 LE)
  with min(datagram.path_mtu, transport.mtu()) at forwarding
- Updated handshake packets (msg1: 87->90 bytes, msg2: 42->45 bytes)
- FIPS_OVERHEAD updated from 135 to 144 bytes

## MMP Link-Layer Measurement Protocol

Add the Metrics Measurement Protocol for link quality measurement
between FIPS peers. Measures RTT, loss, jitter, throughput, OWD trend,
and ETX from periodic sender/receiver reports exchanged over established
links.

Module layout:
- mmp/algorithms.rs: JitterEstimator, SrttEstimator, DualEwma, OwdTrend,
  SpinBit, ETX computation
- mmp/report.rs: SenderReport (48B) and ReceiverReport (68B) wire format
- mmp/sender.rs: per-peer TX counters and interval tracking
- mmp/receiver.rs: per-peer RX counters, jitter, loss, gap tracking
- mmp/metrics.rs: derived metrics from report processing (SRTT, goodput_bps)
- mmp/mod.rs: MmpMode (Full/Lightweight/Minimal), MmpConfig, MmpPeerState
- node/handlers/mmp.rs: report dispatch, timer-driven generation, operator
  logging (periodic + teardown)

Integration: per-frame TX/RX hooks in encrypted message handling, report
dispatch from link message router, timer-driven generation from tick
handler, and periodic operator logging with throughput formatting.

Three operating modes: Full (sender + receiver reports, spin bit, CE echo),
Lightweight (receiver reports only), Minimal (spin bit + CE echo only).

## Design Documentation

Updated FLP sections across all design documents to match the implemented
wire format, including revised overhead calculations and numeric values.

568 tests pass, clippy clean.
