feat: cross-compute VXLAN kernel datapath
Cross-compute links can ride kernel VXLAN tunnels instead of the uBridge
UDP relay: each endpoint creates one VXLAN device (uBridge's rtnetlink
vxlan module) enslaved into the same per-link Linux bridge the same-host
datapath uses, so filters, markers, capture and suspend keep running on
the anchor unchanged. Opt-in (Server.enable_vxlan_cross_compute, default
off) because the tunnel caps the usable MTU at the underlay minus the
outer headers; the relay stays the default and the fallback.

The controller derives what the pair must agree on: one VNI per link
(upper VNI space, per-link random salt) and deterministic device names
(gvl{link}{node}) that make crashed-run leftovers claimable
(show -> delete -> create). Same-host compute pairs, switch endpoints
and serial/unix-socket containers stay on the relay.

A VNI the kernel refuses self-heals on every path it can surface:
interactive create retries a fresh salt then degrades to the relay;
project open re-dispatches refused batch entries the same way; node
start recognises the refused device, stops the half-started node,
re-wires both ends on a fresh VNI (or degrades the link) and retries
the start. The device MTU is derived from the lower device (dev=) and
the per-link bridge inherits it - no configuration. The capability
probe (ubridge_vxlan in /capabilities) runs one scratch create/delete
on a scratch port that never equals the configured dstport.

The e2e scenario runs two computes on one machine (a network namespace
joined by a veth pair as the fabric) and needs root.

"""
Standalone ``tc capabilities`` probe.
Spawns the configured uBridge outside any node lifecycle, asks its tc module
for the feature report and caches the answer by binary identity (path,
mtime, size) — the same binary never answers differently, but replacing it
must re-probe. This feeds the compute ``/capabilities`` payload so the
controller and clients can gate kernel-datapath filter types on what this
host's uBridge can actually run, as the server's own user — which is the
point: the runtime ``ebpf`` flag flips between users and kernels for the
same binary, so a probe run as root would lie for a non-root server.
A node's own probe (DockerVM._ubridge_tc_capabilities) stays per-process;
this one only answers "what can this binary do here". Never raises: any
failure (missing binary, old build answering "Unknown command", timeout)
means unknown, reported as None and cached as such.
