ospab c523b083cb fix(server): outbound connect no longer lets a dead IPv6 candidate eat the whole timeout
Matches a real report: traffic counters move (the OSTP tunnel handshakes
fine) but sites don't open, or take very long - on a freshly deployed
DigitalOcean droplet in Amsterdam.

connect_target's fallback path handed the raw "host:port" string straight
to TcpStream::connect, which resolves and tries addresses internally but
shares ONE 10s timeout across the WHOLE attempt (all resolved addresses,
not per-address). Some VPS hosts assign the machine an IPv6 address that
the OS prefers by RFC 6724 ordering but that has no actually-working
outbound route - the connect doesn't get refused, it just hangs. With a
single shared budget, that one dead IPv6 candidate eats the entire 10s and
the working IPv4 candidate is never even attempted: every dual-stack
destination (i.e. most popular sites) times out, while IPv4-only
destinations work fine.

New connect_direct() resolves target itself via lookup_host, sorts IPv4
candidates first, and tries each with its own 3s budget (still bounded
overall by the original 10s outer timeout as a backstop) so a hung IPv6
attempt can't starve the IPv4 fallback of a chance.

Added tests: IPv4-first sort ordering (and stability within a family), a
successful connect against a live local listener, and a refused-port
connect failing well under the timeout (proving failures aren't
needlessly slow). Scoped to connect_target's direct-connect paths; the
SOCKS5/HTTP outbound-proxy paths and the fallback/camouflage TCP proxy
(which targets a fixed admin-configured local address, not arbitrary
dual-stack hostnames) are unaffected.
