docs(arch): ADR-049 — streaming handler for subscription operations

The call protocol spec describes streaming (call.responded*N +
call.completed, PendingRequestMap::Subscribe, CallConnection::subscribe),
but the server-side Handler type returned a single ResponseEnvelope —
a Subscription op had no way to produce a stream. The TS predecessor
(@alkdev/operations) had separate OperationHandler / SubscriptionHandler
types; the Rust port collapsed them, losing the streaming path. This
restores it end-to-end: StreamingHandler type, HandlerKind on
HandlerRegistration validated against op_type, invoke_streaming() on
OperationRegistry, server-side dispatch branches on op_type, new
INVALID_OPERATION_TYPE protocol code for wrong-dispatch-path misuse,
GatewayDispatch::invoke_streaming() for /subscribe SSE, from_call stream
forwarding via CallConnection::subscribe(), from_openapi SSE forwarding.
OperationEnv::invoke() stays request/response-only (stream composition is
handler-level, not protocol-level). Amends ADR-023's protocol-code list
(five → six). Tracks the stream-operators library as OQ-41 (feature
extension, not an unmade decision).

3. For each discovered op, construct a `HandlerRegistration`:
- `spec` mirrors the remote op's name (with optional prefix), namespace,
type, schemas, access control.
- `handler` is a forwarding handler: sends `call.requested` through the
`CallConnection`, awaits `call.responded` (or streams for subscriptions).
- `handler` is a forwarding handler, **branched on `op_type`** (ADR-049):
- `Query` / `Mutation` → a `Handler` (registered as `HandlerKind::Once`):
sends `call.requested` via `CallConnection::call_with_payload()`, awaits
the single `call.responded` (or `call.error`), returns the
`ResponseEnvelope`.
- `Subscription` → a `StreamingHandler` (registered as
`HandlerKind::Stream`): calls `CallConnection::subscribe()`, which
returns `impl Stream<Item = ResponseEnvelope>` (the client-side
streaming path, already implemented), maps it to a
`BoxStream<ResponseEnvelope>`. The remote stream flows end-to-end:
each `call.responded` the remote sends becomes a stream item; the
remote's `call.completed` ends the stream (→ wire `call.completed`);
`call.aborted` drops the stream (cascade per ADR-016). No truncation,
no first-value fallback — a `from_call`-imported subscription forwards
the full remote stream.
