feat(esw): cascade two switches through a veth pair

Switch-to-switch links were the last shape left on the relay: the switch
fast path works by absorbing the *peer's* anchor, and a switch has none —
its ports are its own bridge, and a kernel interface belongs to exactly
one bridge, so two bridges cannot be joined by enslaving anything.

Join them with a veth pair instead: one end per bridge, each side
enslaving its own end and applying its own port mode to it — an access
port on one side and a trunk on the other behaves like the real cable it
models. uBridge's docker create_veth/delete_veth (the primitive every
Docker adapter is already born from) creates and destroys the pair; the
names derive from the link id (utils.kernel_anchor.kernel_cascade_names),
so each side computes its own end and the names survive a restart.

The pair belongs to the link, and the two ends are wired by two
independent uBridge processes — the project-open batch drives different
nodes concurrently — so the protocol is order-free: both sides create the
pair when their own end is missing (one create wins; the loser's failure
is re-checked against the kernel and "the pair is there" is not an
error), and either side's teardown destroys it (deleting one veth end
takes the other with it, so both converge on the same gone pair and the
second delif answers ENOENT). A pre-existing end — this switch restarted,
or a leftover from a previous life of the link id — is reused rather than
recreated, because the other end may still be a live port of the peer
switch; a stale tc qdisc is all a reused end can carry.

No new wire format was needed: a cascade is an anchor NIO on both ends,
the absorbed-anchor case plus the peer end's name. That also corrects the
filter routing — the single-sided rule exists because an absorbed anchor
is one interface, while a cascade has one per switch, so impairments go
to both ends like any other kernel link.

Tests: the wire format, the eligibility flip and the both-ends re-push on
node start (controller); the naming contract (utils); the switch-side
lifecycle — create, reuse, lost create race, delete destroys the pair
(compute routes).

Drive-by: the relay filter test's compute mock carried no awaitable
`put`, so tests/controller/test_kernel_datapath_link.py failed when run
alone while an argument-less full run passed; callers now get one.

A link between two Ethernet switches rides the kernel datapath through
one veth pair: each side gets an anchor NIO naming its own end and
carrying the other end's name (both sides create the pair when their
end is missing, so no ordering between the two NIO posts is needed).
Unlike the absorbed-anchor fast path, filters are two-sided — each end
is its own interface, so each direction of the link is impaired exactly
once like any other kernel link.
