feat: implement SOCKS5 proxy with stream multiplexing over HTTPS tunnel

- Add socks5.rs module with SOCKS5 protocol parsing (greeting, auth, CONNECT)
- Add /forward HTTPS endpoint on listener for target TCP forwarding
- Add SOCKS5 proxy listener on connector side with fail-closed auth gating
- Support IPv4 and hostname targets, sequential/concurrent streams
- Fail-closed behavior: SOCKS rejected before tunnel authentication
- 38 new tests covering protocol parsing, malformed input, and E2E paths
