feat: reconnect on transient link loss with per-peer supervisors

Audio links now survive a dropped QUIC connection instead of silently
dying until the peer leaves and rejoins the room.

Transport: each peer is owned by a single supervisor task running a
connect → run → reconnect loop. The deterministic-initiator rule (lower
id dials, higher accepts) holds on every reconnect, so one shared
connection re-forms each time; the dialer redials with capped backoff
and the acceptor awaits the inbound link, switching to a replacement
immediately if one arrives before its own close fires. Inbound
connections are routed to the supervisor via a per-peer channel.

Fixes a latent bug from the prior design: aborting a peer's tasks left
the detached send/read loops running, holding Connection clones so the
link never actually closed. The loops now live in abort-on-drop guards
scoped to the supervisor, so cancelling it releases the connection.

UX: a new ConnEvent stream surfaces per-peer link state to the UI, which
shows "Connecting…"/"Reconnecting…" with a yellow indicator and border
while a peer's audio link is down, returning to normal when it recovers.

Tests: the loopback test now runs through the supervisor path, plus a
new test drives a real drop (explicit close of a controlled peer
endpoint) and asserts the dialer re-dials the stable address and audio
resumes over the rebuilt connection.
