docs(features): quantify the kernel netem correl bias that collapses small rates
The kernel's correlated-random generator (get_crandom, sch_netem.c) truncates
instead of wrapping, starving both edges of the stationary distribution: an
event threshold below the correlation value is almost never reached. Measured
with stock iproute2 on this kernel — uBridge's netlink encoding is identical:
loss 1% + correl 25% drops nothing over 2000 pings (expected ~2%), 10%/25%
measures ~1.8% one way, only the 50% symmetry point survives. duplicate and
reorder correl share the same comparison structure and collapse the same way;
gemodel is immune (Markov chain over plain uniform draws) and is the honest
tool for bursty loss at a chosen mean rate.

Documented in the packet-filters correlation-bias bullet, and surfaced in the
two machine-facing descriptions (MCP link_update packet_loss note, controller
filter schema) so agents and clients stop walking into the trap.
