feat: replace connection keys with short seed-derived rtun3 keys
Connection keys are now a ~49-char seed (rtun3.) instead of a bundled
~1740-char certificate blob. Both endpoints deterministically derive an
identical Ed25519 CA from the seed and mint ephemeral server/client leaves
at startup (keyderive.rs); the app-layer auth token is derived from the seed.
Target is passed separately on connect (resocks-style).

- connkey.rs: rtun3 seed parse/format
- keyderive.rs: CA/server/client/token derivation
- keygen takes no args; connect requires --target
- remove miniz_oxide; TLS layer unchanged
- add determinism + key-based e2e + wrong-seed-rejected tests
- update wiki, README, design spec, CI smoke

# Glossary
**Connection key** — a short (~49-char) base64url-encoded 32-byte seed (prefix `rtun3.`). Both endpoints derive an identical CA and ephemeral leaf certificates from the seed, so no certificates are ever shipped. Generated by `rustunnel keygen` and consumed by `rustunnel listen` and `rustunnel connect`.
**Connector** — the `rustunnel connect` side. Establishes an outbound HTTPS+mTLS connection to the listener, authenticates, then exposes a local SOCKS5 proxy for local applications.
**Framing protocol** — the binary protocol used after the HTTP auth handshake completes. Frame types: CONNECT, CONNECT_REPLY, DATA, CLOSE, ERROR. All multi-byte integers are big-endian. Max payload per frame is 4 MiB.
**Listener** — the `rustunnel listen` side. Binds an HTTPS server that accepts mTLS connections, validates the auth token, then upgrades the connection to the binary framing protocol.
**mTLS** — mutual TLS. Both the listener and connector present certificates and verify the peer's certificate against a shared CA. rustunnel uses rustls with ring as the crypto provider.
**Security gate** — one of the validation steps that must pass before tunnel forwarding begins: TLS handshake, client certificate verification (listener), server certificate verification (connector), application auth token validation.
**SOCKS5 proxy** — the local proxy exposed by the connector. Implements RFC 1928 CONNECT with optional username/password auth (RFC 1929). Supports IPv4 and domain name targets.
**Stream ID** — a monotonically increasing odd integer (1, 3, 5, ...) assigned by the connector for each SOCKS5 connection. Even IDs are reserved for future server-initiated streams.
**StreamMux** — the connector-side structure that manages multiple concurrent streams over a single tunnel connection. Maps stream IDs to per-stream data channels.
