feat(nat): Tailscale-inspired STUN/ICE + port mapping + mid-call re-gathering (#28)

Phase 8: 5 new modules bringing NAT traversal close to Tailscale's approach.

- stun.rs: RFC 5389 STUN client — public server reflexive discovery,
  XOR-MAPPED-ADDRESS parsing, parallel probe with retry, STUN fallback
  in desktop try_reflect_own_addr()
- portmap.rs: NAT-PMP (RFC 6886) + PCP (RFC 6887) + UPnP IGD port
  mapping — gateway discovery, acquire/release/refresh lifecycle,
  new PeerCandidates.mapped candidate type in dial order
- ice_agent.rs: candidate lifecycle — gather(), re_gather(),
  apply_peer_update() with monotonic generation counter,
  CandidateUpdate signal message forwarded by relay
- netcheck.rs: comprehensive diagnostic — NAT type, IPv4/v6,
  port mapping availability, relay latencies, CLI --netcheck
- relay_map.rs: RTT-sorted relay map, preferred() selection,
  populate_from_ack() for RegisterPresenceAck.available_relays

Relay: CallRegistry stores + cross-wires caller/callee_mapped_addr
into CallSetup.peer_mapped_addr. Region config + available_relays
populated from federation peers in RegisterPresenceAck.

Desktop: place_call/answer_call call acquire_port_mapping() and
fill caller/callee_mapped_addr. STUN+relay combined NAT detection.

571 tests pass (66 new), 0 regressions, 0 warnings.

+
+Added 5 new modules to bring NAT traversal capability close to Tailscale's:
+
+### Phase 8.1: Public STUN Client (Done)
+- `stun.rs`: RFC 5389 Binding Request/Response over raw UDP
+- Independent reflexive discovery via public STUN servers (Google, Cloudflare)
+- `detect_nat_type_with_stun()` combines relay + STUN probes for higher confidence
+- STUN fallback in desktop's `try_reflect_own_addr()` when relay reflection fails
+
+### Phase 8.2: PCP/PMP/UPnP Port Mapping (Done)
+- `portmap.rs`: NAT-PMP (RFC 6886), PCP (RFC 6887), UPnP IGD
+- Gateway discovery (macOS + Linux), try NAT-PMP → PCP → UPnP in sequence
+- New candidate type: `PeerCandidates.mapped` + signal fields `caller_mapped_addr`/`callee_mapped_addr`/`peer_mapped_addr`
+- Dial order: host → mapped → reflexive (mapped helps on symmetric NATs)
+
+### Phase 8.3: Mid-Call ICE Re-Gathering (Done — signal plane)
+- `ice_agent.rs`: `IceAgent` with `gather()`, `re_gather()`, `apply_peer_update()`
+- `SignalMessage::CandidateUpdate` with monotonic generation counter
+- Relay forwards `CandidateUpdate` like `MediaPathReport`
+- Desktop handles and emits to JS frontend
+- Transport hot-swap: designed but not yet wired into live call engine
+
+### Phase 8.4: Netcheck Diagnostic (Done)
+- `netcheck.rs`: comprehensive network diagnostic (NAT type, reflexive addr, IPv4/v6, port mapping, relay latencies)
+- CLI: `wzp-client --netcheck <relay>`
+
+### Phase 8.5: Region-Based Relay Selection (Done — data model)
+- `relay_map.rs`: `RelayMap` sorted by RTT with `preferred()` selection
+- `RegisterPresenceAck` extended with `relay_region` + `available_relays`
+
+### Phase 8.6: Hard NAT Traversal (Deferred)
+- Birthday-attack port prediction deferred — 2-5s probing latency is excessive for VoIP call setup
+- Phases 8.1-8.2 cover the vast majority of NAT configurations

+
+5 new modules in `wzp-client`, 64 new unit tests (363 total across client/proto/relay).
+
+#### Public STUN Client (`stun.rs`)
+- Minimal RFC 5389 STUN Binding Request/Response over raw UDP
+- XOR-MAPPED-ADDRESS (preferred) + MAPPED-ADDRESS (fallback) parsing
+- Default servers: `stun.l.google.com:19302`, `stun1.l.google.com:19302`, `stun.cloudflare.com:3478`
+- `discover_reflexive()` — first-success parallel probe across N servers
+- `probe_stun_servers()` — full results for NAT classification
+- Integrated into `detect_nat_type_with_stun()` combining relay + STUN probes
+- Desktop STUN fallback in `try_reflect_own_addr()` when relay reflection fails
+
+#### PCP/PMP/UPnP Port Mapping (`portmap.rs`)
+- **NAT-PMP** (RFC 6886): UDP to gateway:5351, external address + port mapping
+- **PCP** (RFC 6887): PCP MAP opcode, IPv4-mapped IPv6 client address
+- **UPnP IGD**: SSDP M-SEARCH discovery + SOAP `AddPortMapping`/`GetExternalIPAddress`
+- Gateway discovery: macOS (`route -n get default`), Linux (`/proc/net/route`)
+- `acquire_port_mapping()` tries NAT-PMP → PCP → UPnP, first success wins
+- `release_port_mapping()` + `spawn_refresh()` for lifecycle management
+- Signal protocol: `caller_mapped_addr`/`callee_mapped_addr` on offer/answer, `peer_mapped_addr` on CallSetup
+- `PeerCandidates.mapped` — new candidate type in dial order (host → mapped → reflexive)
+
+#### Mid-Call ICE Re-Gathering (`ice_agent.rs`)
+- `IceAgent`: owns candidate lifecycle with `gather()`, `re_gather()`, `apply_peer_update()`
+- Monotonic generation counter prevents stale candidate updates from reordering
+- `SignalMessage::CandidateUpdate` — new signal for mid-call candidate exchange
+- Relay forwards `CandidateUpdate` to call peer (same pattern as `MediaPathReport`)
+- Desktop handles `CandidateUpdate` in signal recv loop, emits to JS frontend
+- Transport hot-swap architecture designed (TODO: wire into live call engine)
+
+#### Netcheck Diagnostic (`netcheck.rs`)
+- `NetcheckReport`: NAT type, reflexive addr, IPv4/v6, port mapping, relay latencies, gateway
+- `run_netcheck()` — parallel probes for STUN + relay + portmap + IPv6
+- `format_report()` — human-readable diagnostic output
+- CLI: `wzp-client --netcheck <relay>` runs diagnostic
+
+#### Region-Based Relay Selection (`relay_map.rs`)
+- `RelayMap` sorted by RTT, `preferred()` returns lowest-latency reachable relay
+- `populate_from_ack()` — parses `RegisterPresenceAck.available_relays`
+- Stale detection (`needs_reprobe()`, `stale_entries()`)
+- `RegisterPresenceAck` extended with `relay_region` and `available_relays`
