feat(call): CallClient + shared dispatch loop + peer-scoped default-deny (ADR-017, ADR-028)

The #1 gap in alknet-call: the outbound connection opener. Every downstream
consumer (runner, container service, bilateral exchange, NAPI, agent
cross-node dispatch) is blocked on it.

Shared dispatch loop (ADR-017 §1 — the architectural commitment that keeps
CallClient from becoming a parallel protocol implementation):
- Extracts the accept-path dispatch (sweeper, accept_bi loop, handle_stream,
  dispatch_requested, build_root_context, compose_root_env, fail_all on
  close) out of CallAdapter into a new protocol/dispatch.rs Dispatcher struct.
  Both CallAdapter::handle and CallClient::connect produce a CallConnection
  and hand it to Dispatcher::run_loop — the loop is genuinely shared
  (refactored, not duplicated).
- CallAdapter keeps its public API and test-facing wrappers (pub(crate),
  #[cfg(test)]-gated) that delegate to the Dispatcher.

Peer-scoped default-deny (ADR-028 — the one-way-door security dimension):
- RemoteFilter { trusted_peer: bool } on the Dispatcher. In default-deny
  mode (CallClient::new), an incoming call to an op with remote_safe: false
  returns NOT_FOUND *before* any capability material reaches the handler —
  a remote peer's call must not populate OperationContext.capabilities from
  the local registration bundle unless the op is explicitly remote-safe
  (ADR-028 Context). Trusted-peer mode (CallClient::trusted_peer, explicit
  opt-in) bypasses the filter.
- The accept path (CallAdapter) uses RemoteFilter::trusted() by convention: a
  direct QUIC client is not a filtered CallClient peer in the ADR-028 sense.
- OperationRegistry::list_operations_peer_scoped(trusted_peer) +
  services_list_handler_peer_scoped for the CallClient's services/list
  serving path (ADR-028 Assumption 2: a peer should not see ops it cannot
  call, so discovery and dispatch filters agree).

CallClient (src/client/call_client.rs):
- CallClient { registry, identity_provider, trusted_peer: bool }.
- new() default-deny; trusted_peer() explicit opt-in (ADR-028 §3).
- connect(addr, CallCredentials) dials QUIC on ALPN alknet/call (quinn
  feature), spawns Dispatcher::run_loop, returns a live CallConnection.
- spawn_dispatch(connection) shared path for connect + tests.
- CallCredentials { tls_identity, auth_token, remote_identity } — all from
  Capabilities (ADR-014), never env vars (no-env-vars invariant). v1
  connects without client-auth TLS identity (server uses
  AcceptAnyCertVerifier); RawKey client-auth is a two-way-door remainder.
- RemoteIdentity { fingerprint } — concrete shape is a two-way door (OQ-25
  remainder); the one-way constraint is it comes from Capabilities.
- ClientError { Transport, TlsSetup, ConnectionClosed }.
- CallConnection is now Clone (shares the inner Arcs) so connect can hand
  the caller a live clone while the dispatcher task keeps its clone.

Tests (199 lib + 1 integration):
- Unit: default-deny NOT_FOUND for non-remote-safe; remote_safe dispatches;
  trusted-peer dispatches all External; default-deny does NOT populate
  capabilities (the load-bearing security assertion — verified by a handler
  that inspects context.capabilities and the fact that the handler is never
  reached for non-remote-safe ops); remote_safe op populates capabilities;
  services/list peer-scoped hide/trusted variants; CallClient constructors;
  CallCredentials builder; Send+Sync.
- Integration (tests/two_node_call.rs): real QUIC loopback — CallAdapter
  server (self-signed cert via rcgen) accepts, CallClient connects,
  client.call() round-trips to server/echo. Proves the connect path +
  shared dispatch loop work end-to-end.

clippy + fmt + test all green.

+//!
+//! Opens a QUIC connection to a remote node on ALPN `alknet/call`, performs
+//! credential setup, and produces a [`CallConnection`] running the shared
+//! dispatch loop (delegated to [`crate::protocol::dispatch::Dispatcher`]).
+//! `CallClient` is the connection-establishment half; `CallAdapter`'s accept
