docs(arch): endpoint types and entry points (ADR-086) — resolves OQ-62

Name the three-endpoint-type model (web/native/iroh) and the
entry-point vs. endpoint ALPN distinction. This untangles the
hub/endpoint/ALPN-config confusion that OQ-62 hinted at:

- A hub composes a SUBSET of three endpoint types (web, native, iroh),
  each with its own identity model, auth model, and transport(s). A
  full hub runs all three; a minimal hub runs iroh alone (no public
  IP required). The first real use case is web + native. Corrects the
  hub README's 'must support TCP+TLS and QUIC' framing.

- ALPNs split into entry points (accepted without identity — h2,
  http/1.1, future alknet/register) and endpoints (identity required
  before dispatch — alknet/channels, alknet/call, alknet/ssh). This
  resolves OQ-62: split ALPN lists by endpoint type (Option B), because
  each endpoint type serves a different client class with different
  negotiable ALPNs. The assembly-layer wiring pattern is now guessable.

- Foundational handlers are two categories, not one: channels
  data-channel ALPNs (tunnel, socks5, fs, sftp — gated by channels,
  not in any TLS ALPN list) vs. SSH (an endpoint ALPN that wraps
  channels inside it, RFC 7250 keys, legacy compat, comes later).

Files OQ-65 (WebSocket carrying channels — the browser story update)
filed as a one-way-door question, open. ADR-048 is not superseded;
OQ-65 may extend it. The web config advertises alknet/channels by
default so the hub is ready if OQ-65 resolves to 'WebSocket carries
channels.'

## Open Questions
Open questions are tracked in [open-questions.md](open-questions.md) — an index of theme-grouped tables (64 OQs across 18 themes) with a cross-theme [Deferred / Blocked](open-questions.md#deferred--blocked) section surfacing the safe-exit deferrals. Each OQ lives in its own file under [`questions/`](questions/) (`NNN-slug.md`, mirroring the ADR convention).
