Mark Iroh adapters as deferred pending fork of iroh-ts

Update peer dep from @rayhanadev/iroh to @alkdev/iroh. Document
platform strategy: Linux native + WASM fallback, Windows/macOS
deferred. Fix outdated single-import reference in iroh-transport.md
to split spoke/hub imports. Resolve binding stability and NAPI/Deno
R&D items as covered by the fork path.

1. **Fork of iroh-ts** — same as spoke adapter. Pending fork as `@alkdev/iroh`.
2. **Concurrent accept** — can `endpoint.accept()` handle multiple simultaneous connections?
3. **Stream vs. Connection per spoke** — current design: one bidirectional stream per spoke on a single connection. Alternative: one connection per spoke. Need to benchmark which is better for the expected workload.
4. **iroh-gossip** — for true broadcast to many spokes, `iroh-gossip` would be more efficient than per-spoke streams. Not yet available in TS. The current subscription-tracked fan-out design works for moderate fan-out; gossip would be an optimization for very large fan-out later.

# Iroh Transport
P2P QUIC event target using iroh. More complex than the other transports due to NAT traversal, crypto identity, and byte-stream framing.

Using `@alkdev/iroh` (pending fork of `@rayhanadev/iroh`) as the NAPI-RS binding. The original `@rayhanadev/iroh` has one author and no tests — we plan to fork it with the following platform strategy:

## Open Questions
1. **Binding stability**`@rayhanadev/iroh` has one author and no tests. If it breaks, we may need to fork or write our own NAPI wrapper. Mitigation: the API surface we use is small (10 methods) and the binding is thin.
2. **NAPI under Deno** — NAPI-RS `.node` binaries need testing under Deno 2.x. Since we're building with tsup for npm, the runtime is Node.js.
3. **Datagram support**`sendDatagram`/`readDatagram` could be used for fire-and-forget events (no response expected). Not needed for hub-spoke but could be useful for broadcast. Deferred.
