feat(serve): supervised listener pool (v0.2 chunk 1)

OneForOne supervisor on the root actor, Restart::Permanent per listener.
ChildSpec factory owns its fd via Arc<OwnedFd> (OwnedFd gains Sync);
restarts reuse the fd — no re-dup, no fd-less window. wait_readable
failure now exits-and-restarts instead of being fatal. Conn actors stay
unsupervised bare spawns. Test hook INJECT_LISTENER_PANICS panics before
accept so a pending connection must survive into the restarted listener.

Roadmap: chunk 1 marked done; chunk 3 fork resolved to smarm-native
timed waits (RFC 008 landed at 393cdd0, reaper option removed); chunk 2
drain-then-stop decided; v0.4-3(b) unblocked.

supervisor channel, so their deaths are invisible to the pool supervisor
by construction.
Open question: should the restarted child re-dup from listener 0's fd, or Open question resolved as leaned: the ChildSpec factory owns the fd via
own its fd across restarts via the ChildSpec closure? Leaning: closure `Arc<OwnedFd>` (`OwnedFd` gained `Sync` for this) and every (re)start
captures the `OwnedFd`, re-registers on restart. No re-dup needed. reuses it. No re-dup, no window where a pool slot has no fd. Covered by
`tests/integration.rs::panicking_listener_restarts` (pool of 1, panic
injected before `accept` so the pending connection must survive into the
restarted listener).

**Decision fork — pick one before implementing:** **Decided: smarm-native timed waits** (the fork's option (a), a reaper in
urus, died when RFC 008 landed at `393cdd0``wait_readable_timeout` /
`wait_writable_timeout` exist upstream now, so there is nothing for the
reaper to be the stopgap for):
- **(a) Reaper in urus.** The chunk-2 registry tracks per-conn `read_some` parks in `wait_readable_timeout` instead of `wait_readable`;
`last_activity`; a ticker (`smarm::sleep` loop) sweeps and `Ok(false)` means the deadline passed and the conn actor closes. Per-conn

Granularity = sweep interval; conns must stamp activity (one cast per read wait enforces *idle-between-reads*`keep_alive_timeout` between
request — measurable but small). requests, and slowloris dies because each stalled read has a deadline.
- **(b) `wait_readable_timeout` in smarm.** A first-of(fd, timer) wait. `request_timeout` as a whole-request wall clock is NOT what this gives;
The v0.7 epoch-stamped consuming-unpark machinery exists precisely for decide in implementation whether to track a per-request deadline across
multi-arm waits (`select_timeout` is the channel-flavoured proof), but reads (cheap: one `Instant` in the conn loop, pass the min of both
fd arms aren't `Selectable` today — this is real smarm work in budgets to each wait) or redefine `request_timeout` as per-read. Leaning
`wait_fd`/io thread. Cleaner per-conn semantics, benefits every future the `Instant`: it keeps the advertised config honest.
smarm io consumer, no reaper bookkeeping.
Leaning **(a) now, (b) later**: (a) ships the security fix this cycle and urus is the first real consumer of the timed wrappers — note the RFC 008
the registry exists anyway; (b) becomes a smarm roadmap item whose landing reviewer flag (`wait_fd` wraps in `NoPreempt`, select arms don't); the
lets the reaper's stamps go away. But if you'd rather not build throwaway: crud example under load doubles as that confirmation.
(b) first is defensible — say the word.
