feat: harden bootstrap and optimize network data path
- Security: Eliminate namespace escape risk by removing `HostBind` and enforcing `FDBind` using pre-opened host socket FDs. - Security: Replace unsafe `atoi` with `strtol` and strict validation in the C launcher to prevent malformed PID joins. - Stability: Fix PID wraparound by storing session timestamps in PID files to detect recycled PIDs. - Stability: Resolve DNS mount leaks by implementing proper unmounting of `/etc/resolv.conf` during tunnel shutdown. - Performance: Optimize `FDBind` throughput by implementing batch packet processing in the receive loop. - Deployment: Implement `memfd_create` for the C launcher to support `noexec` temporary directories and reduce disk I/O. - Maintenance: Replace external `ip` CLI dependency with native `netlink` library for robust network configuration. - Quality: Fix all `golangci-lint` errors and replace remaining panics with explicit error handling.
