Bring the shared backend contract and TIPC plan in line with
current runtime behavior and downstream implementation evidence.
Rework the QUIC plan around actor-owned endpoint, bootstrap,
stream, listener and cleanup lifecycles, with explicit validation
gates for the still-unverified UniFFI details.

Plan doc for gh #353. Picks `iroh` (the `uniffi` FFI pkg) over
`aioquic`/`quiche` bc node-id addressing + hole-punching + relay
fallback is the whole point; `aioquic` stays documented as the
fallback since ~90% of the adapters here are reusable against a
sans-io core.
Deats,
- the layering: iroh `Endpoint` per actor, `Connection` per peer
(pooled via `trionics.maybe_open_context()`, not a hand-rolled
cache), one bi-stream per `Channel`. 4-byte prefix framing
stays so `MsgpackTransport` is untouched.
- `_uniffi_trio.py`: uniffi only uses `asyncio` as the executor
for its rust-future poll loop, so a ~40-line
`TrioToken.run_sync_soon()` bridge replaces it. Spells out the
real hazards — strong ref on the `ctypes` trampoline, poll-code
propagation, and a *bounded* shielded cancel-drain so a wedged
rust future can't make an actor un-cancellable.
- `IrohAddress` w/ ALPN as the `.bindspace`, the `(str, str)`
unwrapped form's collision w/ the UDS match-case, and why
`get_root()` needs a persisted secret key -> a lazy
`default_lo_addrs()` + a pure-getter/explicit-setter split.
- `QuicMsgStream(trio.abc.HalfCloseableStream)` +
`QuicListener(trio.abc.Listener)`, incl. the exact
EOF/reset/use-after-close semantics `_transport.py` already
match-cases on, and hanging the acceptor tasks off the
existing `Endpoint.listen_tn`.
- a prep-PR boundary: annotation widening, the shared
`rebind_from_sockname` gate and a `tpt_key`-based
`transport_from_stream()` dispatch, all landable w/ tcp/uds as
the only backends.
Further, notes this is our first tpt w/ real transport security
+ peer auth, so an inbound node-id allowlist hook belongs here —
and that it says nothing about the other backends.
