Johnathan Corgan 56d39f223b Add ECN congestion signaling and transport congestion detection
Implement hop-by-hop ECN congestion signaling through the FMP layer,
transport-level congestion detection via kernel drop counters, and
chaos harness integration for end-to-end validation.

FMP/session ECN plumbing:

- Thread ce_flag parsed at link layer through dispatch_link_message,
  handle_session_datagram, handle_session_payload, and
  handle_encrypted_session_msg to session delivery
- Replace hardcoded false in session-layer record_recv() with actual
  ce_flag, activating ecn_ce_count tracking in session MMP

ECN congestion detection and CE relay:

- Add EcnConfig (node.ecn.*) with configurable loss_threshold (5%)
  and etx_threshold (3.0) for transit congestion detection
- Add send_encrypted_link_message_with_ce() that ORs FLAG_CE into FMP
  header flags; original method delegates with ce_flag=false
- Compute outgoing_ce = incoming_ce || local congestion on next-hop
  link, enabling hop-by-hop CE relay through transit nodes

IPv6 ECN-CE marking:

- Mark ECN-CE (0b11) in IPv6 Traffic Class on received DataPackets
  before TUN delivery when FMP CE flag is set
- Only marks ECN-capable packets (ECT(0)/ECT(1)); Not-ECT packets
  unchanged per RFC 3168

Transport congestion abstraction and UDP kernel drop detection:

- Add TransportCongestion struct to transport layer for transport-
  agnostic local congestion indicators
- Replace tokio::UdpSocket with AsyncFd<socket2::Socket> using
  libc::recvmsg() with ancillary data parsing
- Enable SO_RXQ_OVFL for kernel receive buffer drop counter on every
  packet, wiring up previously-stubbed UdpStats.kernel_drops
- Add TransportDropState for per-transport delta tracking with 1s
  tick sampling via sample_transport_congestion()
- Extend detect_congestion() with transport kernel drop check
  alongside MMP loss metrics

Congestion monitoring and control:

- Add CongestionStats (ce_forwarded, ce_received, congestion_detected,
  kernel_drop_events) to NodeStats with snapshot serialization
- Wire counters into forwarding path, session handler, and transport
  drop sampling with rate-limited warn logging (5s interval)
- Expose congestion data in show_routing control query and
  ecn_ce_count in show_mmp peer entries
- Add congestion counters to fipstop routing tab in two-column layout

Chaos harness integration:

- Add query_routing(), query_transports(), snapshot_all_congestion()
  to chaos control module
- Add congestion/kernel-drop log analysis in logs module
- Add congestion-stress scenario: 10-node tree, 1 Mbps bandwidth,
  5-10% netem loss, heavy iperf3 traffic
- Add IngressConfig for tc ingress policing with per-peer policer
  filters simulating upstream bandwidth bottlenecks
- Add iperf3 JSON result capture to traffic manager for throughput
  measurement across scenarios
- Add ECN A/B test scenarios (ecn-ab-on/off.yaml) with ingress
  policing and comparison script
- Enable TCP ECN negotiation (tcp_ecn=1 sysctl) in container
  entrypoint for end-to-end CE propagation

Tests:

- 10 ECN unit/integration tests: mark_ipv6_ecn_ce variants, CE relay
  chain (3-node propagation), EcnConfig serde roundtrip
- 3 transport drop congestion detection unit tests

Documentation:

- Update fips-mesh-layer.md: replace outdated CE Echo stub with full
  ECN Congestion Signaling section covering detection logic, CE relay,
  IPv6 marking, session tracking, and monitoring counters
- Update fips-configuration.md: add node.ecn.* parameter table and
  ecn block in complete reference YAML
- Update fips-transport-layer.md: add Congestion Reporting section
  with TransportCongestion struct, congestion() trait method, and
  per-transport status; document AsyncFd/recvmsg/SO_RXQ_OVFL in UDP
- Update chaos README: add congestion/ECN scenario docs, ingress
  traffic control, and iperf3 JSON capture sections
- Update README.md: add ECN to features list and "What works today";
  update transport and tooling entries

"""Per-link network impairment via tc HTB + netem + u32 filters.
Each container gets an HTB root qdisc on eth0 with one class per peer.
Each class has a netem leaf qdisc for that specific link's impairment.
u32 filters match destination IP to direct traffic to the right class.
eth0 root (HTB 1:)
├── class 1:1 → netem 11: (peer 1) ← u32 filter: dst=<peer1_ip>
├── class 1:2 → netem 12: (peer 2) ← u32 filter: dst=<peer2_ip>
└── class 1:99 → pfifo (default, no impairment)
Optional ingress policing adds rate-based packet dropping on the
receive side via tc ingress qdisc + policer filters:
eth0 ingress (ffff:)
