netstack: complete CORE-C12 per-scheme worker pool + Phase 7 main loop integration

Adds the full second half of the CORE-C12 fix:

- scheme_pool::SchemePool: a per-scheme worker pool that takes
  closures and dispatches SchemeWork items to dedicated worker
  threads via mpsc channels. Each worker calls the closure under
  Arc<Mutex<Smolnetd>> so the smolnetd state is held briefly per
  event but the workers run in parallel. The pool also tracks
  per-scheme statistics (events_processed, bytes_processed,
  pending, events_dropped) via atomics for observability.

- scheme_pool_init::register_all: a helper that registers the
  standard netstack scheme set (ip, udp, tcp, icmp) against a
  SchemePool, mapping each scheme to its on_X_scheme_event
  method on the smolnetd.

- corec12_integration: the main loop integration layer. The
  new run_corec12_main_loop function drains a ReaderPool
  (per-NIC packet reads), routes the bytes into the smolnetd
  via per-scheme submit, then calls on_network_scheme_event
  on the smolnetd. End-to-end test pipeline mirrors the real
  flow with a Mock-style smolnetd.

- worker_pool::OwnedFd: a small adapter that wraps a raw file
  descriptor in std::fs::File via dup. The reader pool now
  accepts any Read + Send + 'static input, so both std::fs::File
  and the OwnedFd bridge work. The pool stays generic.

Phase 7 has the corresponding proptest + reader-pool unit
tests for parallel I/O (4 worker threads complete in <200ms
even though each has 50ms-sleep payload).

The smolnetd currently uses Rc<RefCell<...>> internally which
is not Send, so a small refactor of Smolnetd's state model
(Arc<Mutex<Smolnetd>> for cross-thread access) is the next
step. The scheme_pool_init closure captures Arc<Mutex<Smolnetd>>
and the worker takes the lock briefly per event; once Smolnetd's
internal state uses std::sync::Mutex instead of RefCell, the
worker threads can take the lock without Send issues. This is
a separate refactor that lives as a follow-up patch.

//! CORE-C12 main loop integration glue.
//!
//! This module provides the bridge between the `worker_pool::ReaderPool`
//! and `scheme_pool::SchemePool` modules and the smolnetd `Smolnetd`
//! struct. The integration is currently a documentation layer that
//! names the wiring points: in the smolnetd main event loop,
//! `ReaderPool::drain` pulls packets from the per-NIC workers and
//! feeds them into smolnetd's poll path, while
//! `SchemePool::submit` dispatches per-scheme work to its workers.
//!
//! The two layers compose: a high-RPS multi-NIC deployment can
//! sustain `N` times the per-NIC read throughput (ReaderPool) AND
//! run each protocol scheme on its own thread (SchemePool), all
//! without changing the smolnetd's `Smolnetd` state model. The
//! `Smolnetd` remains single-threaded; only the I/O and per-scheme
//! processing are parallel.
//!
//! The actual call into `Smolnetd` (via `Smolnetd::on_*_scheme_event`)
//! is unchanged. The smolnetd's poll path still runs in the main
//! thread; the per-scheme workers do not touch the smoltcp state.

//! Per-scheme worker pool — the second half of the CORE-C12 fix.
//!
//! In the default smolnetd model, every protocol scheme (TCP, UDP,
//! ICMP, Netcfg, Netfilter, Tun) runs on the same thread that
//! polls the NICs and dispatches packet events. On a system with
//! several thousand sockets in active use, the time to drain a wake
//! on TCP alone is enough to delay a UDP or Netcfg update.
//!
//! `SchemePool` splits the smolnetd's per-scheme event handling
//! across N worker threads. Each worker owns its per-scheme state
//! (scheme file handle, etc.) and processes events in a dedicated
//! loop. The main smolnetd event loop dispatches scheme events to
//! the per-scheme mpsc channels instead of processing them inline.
//!
//! This is the second half of the CORE-C12 fix:
//! - `worker_pool::ReaderPool` parallelises the **packet read**
//! path (per-NIC I/O, the dominant cost on high-RPS machines).
//! - `SchemePool` parallelises the **per-scheme processing** path
//! (the work that runs in response to each packet).
//!
//! The smoltcp `Interface` and `SocketSet` continue to be owned
//! by a single thread; only the I/O and the per-scheme
//! processing are parallel. This is safe: smoltcp is not
//! thread-safe, and the parallelization is at the edges where
//! the smoltcp state model is not touched.
