feat(pilot): add tcp tunnel frames + mesh sidecar package (#857)

Lays the dormant data-plane foundation for Sencho Mesh. The pilot tunnel
gains TCP forwarding frames (tcp_open / tcp_open_ack / tcp_close JSON
plus a 0x04 TcpData binary type) and a TcpStream surface on the bridge
so a future MeshService can ride the existing WSS tunnel for cross-node
container traffic. The agent rejects every tcp_open with mesh_not_enabled
until a follow-up PR wires the Dockerode resolver gated by a
mesh_stacks opt-in table; ships dormant.

A new top-level mesh-sidecar/ package provides the per-node container
that will host the L4 forwarder + control WS in production. Built as a
small Node 22 alpine image and published in lockstep with the main
sencho image via a parallel docker-publish workflow job.

Tests cover protocol roundtrips on both packages and the sidecar
forwarder end-to-end including resolve, splice, close, and stats.
