test(e2e): live coverage for markers on the kernel datapath
Two Alpine containers on a kernel-only link with traffic-insight markers
attached to a veth anchor (marker add_kernel), observed on the dedicated
marker WebSocket via a new harness piece (WebSocketCollector, a sync
facade over websockets' sync client). Real ICMP proves: the marker.match
identity is complete (filter/tag/link_id/capture node/ts/len and the
tx/rx direction set of a ping), the main project channel carries no
matches, the BPF and direction are enforced (a non-matching sibling and
a tx-only marker each see exactly their traffic), the host pcap holds
exactly the matched frames, pausing silences one marker while a sibling
keeps counting (silence is never a dead channel), tag replay serves the
paused tag's timeline with display-filter/link/window narrowing and
refuses with 409 while capturing, and deleting a marker takes its pcap
and signals with it.

Live end-to-end test for traffic-insight markers on the kernel datapath
(pytest marker ``e2e``): two real Alpine containers on a kernel-only link,
markers attached to a veth anchor (``marker add_kernel``) and observed on
the dedicated marker notification WebSocket. Real ICMP proves:
* a marker match arrives as a ``marker.match`` on
``/projects/{id}/notifications/markers/ws`` with the full identity —
filter name, tag, link_id, capture node, timestamp, packet length,
travel direction — and **nothing** on the main project channel (the
whole point of the dedicated stream: matches must not head-of-line-block
topology events);
* the BPF is enforced on the anchor: a sibling marker whose expression
cannot match the traffic stays silent, a directioned marker only sees
its direction (``tx`` = the capture node sending), and the pcap on the
host holds exactly the matched frames;
* pausing a marker silences its signals while keeping its pcap; resuming
restores them — and other markers' matches keep flowing throughout, so
silence is never just "the channel died";
* tag replay serves the paused tag's aggregate timeline off that pcap
(merged frames with src/dst/proto, per-source inventory, display-filter
and link narrowing, the window endpoint) and refuses with 409 while any
marker under the tag is still capturing (skipped when sharkd is absent);
* deleting a marker removes its pcap and silences its signals; deleting
the project leaves no marker state behind.
