Add 5 examples filling doc-tutorial gaps

New runnable (and so CI-auto-tested) scripts backing the new docs
guides, each following the `test_docs_examples.py` runner
conventions,

- `typed_payloads.py`: `@tractor.context(pld_spec=)` typed
  `started()`/stream roundtrip + a deliberate `MsgTypeError` catch
  demoing send-side validation,
- `nested_actor_tree.py`: 3-level tree w/ fan-out rpc through a
  mid-tier supervisor actor,
- `service_daemon_discovery.py`: registered daemon located via
  `find_actor()`/`wait_for_actor()` sans any spawn-portal ref,
- `uds_transport_actor_tree.py`: `enable_transports=['uds']` tree
  printing the filesystem sockaddr + kernel peer-pid creds,
- `streaming_broadcast_fanout.py`: one ipc stream fanned out to N
  local tasks via `MsgStream.subscribe()`.

All gaps were mined from in-code TODOs + the docs recon pass; see
#175 for the orig tutorial wishlist.

'''
Demonstrate a (3-level) nested actor tree where one RPC from
the root fans out through a mid-tier 'supervisor' actor to
2 'leaf' worker actors and an aggregate result is relayed
back up.
The process tree should look approximately like:
python examples/nested_actor_tree.py
`-python -m tractor._child --uid ('supervisor', '7c9b1039 ..)
|-python -m tractor._child --uid ('leaf_1', '92d62f50 ..)
`-python -m tractor._child --uid ('leaf_2', 'de91fdf5 ..)
Teardown runs inside-out: the supervisor cancels its leaves
first, then the root cancels the supervisor; watch the
prints to see the ordering.
