feat: WarzonePhone lossy VoIP protocol — Phase 1 complete

Rust workspace with 7 crates implementing a custom VoIP protocol
designed for extremely lossy connections (5-70% loss, 100-500kbps,
300-800ms RTT). 89 tests passing across all crates.

Crates:
- wzp-proto: Wire format, traits, adaptive quality controller, jitter buffer, session FSM
- wzp-codec: Opus encoder/decoder (audiopus), Codec2 stubs, adaptive switching, resampling
- wzp-fec: RaptorQ fountain codes, interleaving, block management (proven 30-70% loss recovery)
- wzp-crypto: X25519+ChaCha20-Poly1305, Warzone identity compatible, anti-replay, rekeying
- wzp-transport: QUIC via quinn with DATAGRAM frames, path monitoring, signaling streams
- wzp-relay: Integration stub (Phase 2)
- wzp-client: Integration stub (Phase 2)
