feat(network): implement Phase 6 LAN discovery and session signaling

Add mDNS/DNS-SD discovery and JSON session negotiation so two peers on
a LAN connect without hard-coded addresses.

- Discovery (Avahi threaded-poll client): the receiver announces
  _screencast._tcp with its signaling port; senders browse and resolve
  peers. Strict lock ordering (poll lock before state mutex) keeps the
  callbacks deadlock-free; name collisions rename via
  avahi_alternative_service_name.
- Signaling: one JSON object per newline-terminated TCP line. The
  receiver hosts a server (port 5005) and answers session offers with
  its RTP port; senders connect, offer, and stream to the negotiated
  endpoint. WebSocket was deferred: no WS library is installed, the
  skill permits plain TCP, and the wire format is transport-agnostic.
- Dual-stack transports: this machine resolves its own services over
  IPv6, so getaddrinfo now runs AF_UNSPEC and listeners bind IPv6 with
  IPV6_V6ONLY=0 (IPv4 fallback), covering UDP and TCP alike. The
  signaling client shutdown now uses shutdown() so a reader blocked in
  recv() cannot hang the join (a plain close() does not wake it).
- CLI: --discover lists receivers (deduped to one entry per host);
  --send auto-disovers when exactly one receiver is found; --peer
  targets a receiver directly; --signaling-port overrides the default.

Validation: meson test 5/5 (new signaling round-trip test), valgrind
clean. End-to-end over loopback: --discover finds the announced
receiver, a probe negotiated a session and streamed 60 frames over
both IPv4 and IPv6, and the receiver reported stream started. mDNS
resolution was verified against avahi-browse as an independent
reference.

## LAN discovery and signaling (Phase 6)
Two machines on the same LAN (mDNS via avahi-daemon, which must be running
on both):
```sh
screencast --receive # machine A: announce + window
screencast --send # machine B: discovers A, negotiates, streams
screencast --discover # list receivers on the LAN
```
`--send` without `--peer` requires exactly one discovered receiver. Use
`--peer HOST[:PORT]` to target a receiver directly (signaling port defaults
to 5005), e.g. `--peer 192.168.178.20`.
Operational note: never `kill -9` a running receiver — a SIGKILLed process
cannot withdraw its mDNS registration, and avahi-daemon then keeps broken
records for that service name until they expire (~75 min), making resolution
time out for every peer. If that happens, `systemctl restart avahi-daemon`
clears it. Always stop screencast with Ctrl-C (SIGTERM).
