iroh upstream: no QUIC-over-TCP fallback (UDP-blocked networks limit the tunnel) #120

Description

@FelineStateMachine

Standing upstream-requirement issue. Filter: upstream.

Gated capability. Full tunnel connectivity on UDP-hostile networks. The lofi-node tunnel is iroh QUIC dialed by node key (docs/node/architecture.md); direct paths require UDP. On networks that block or throttle UDP, connectivity degrades to whatever the relay path can carry, and environments that admit only plain TCP egress have no direct-path story at all.

Upstream requirement. iroh growing a QUIC-over-TCP (or equivalent TCP fallback) transport so holepunched/direct connections have a path on UDP-blocked networks.

On pin bump. Check iroh release notes for a TCP fallback transport. When it lands: enable it in the tunnel layer, verify pairing and sync from a UDP-blocked network in the lofi-node connectivity tests, and update docs/node/beyond-the-lan.md and troubleshooting.md with the new reachability story.
