docs(call): mark call/protocol/dispatch-streaming-branch completed — server-side streaming dispatch

Add DispatchResult::Once|Stream enum and Dispatcher::dispatch() that branches
on the registered op_type (ADR-049 §6): Query/Mutation → invoke() (unchanged
Once path), Subscription → invoke_streaming() (Stream path). handle_stream
matches on DispatchResult: the Once path writes one call.responded/call.error
frame (no call.completed); the Stream path pumps each ResponseEnvelope to the
wire via pump_stream (ResponseEnvelope.into() → call.responded for Ok,
call.error for Err), then writes call.completed on natural stream end. An Err
envelope is terminal — last_was_error suppresses call.completed after an error.
The streaming branch clears context.deadline to None (subscriptions are
unbounded — ADR-049 §6, call-protocol Timeouts). Abort (ADR-016) needs no new
code: handle_abort removes the pending entry and dropping the pump task
releases handler resources via Drop. dispatch_requested delegates to dispatch
for backward compatibility with existing callers.

Same visibility + ACL checks as invoke() (provably identical security axis), then dispatches the StreamingHandler and returns its ResponseStream. Pre-handler errors (not-found, forbidden, INVALID_OPERATION_TYPE for non-Subscription ops) yield a single error ResponseEnvelope via stream::once, then end. Added 6 unit tests covering all paths (subscription dispatch, unknown op, query op cross-kind error, internal op from external, ACL denied, internal call using handler_identity).
