Add todo for py3.13+ `.shared_memory`'s new `track=False` support.. finally they added it XD

Mostly adjusting indentation, noise level, and clarity via `.pformat()`
tweaks more general use of `.devx.pformat.nest_from_op()`.

Specific impl deats,
- use `pformat.ppfmt()/`nest_from_op()` more seriously throughout
  `._server`.
- add a `._server.Endpoint.pformat()`.
- add `._server.Server.len_peers()` and `.repr_state()`.
- polish `Server.pformat()`.
- drop some redundant `log.runtime()`s from `._serve_ipc_eps()` instead
  leaving-them-only/putting-them in the caller pub meth.
- `._tcp.start_listener()` log the bound addr, not the input (which may
  be the 0-port.
