app: long runs that watch, and a relay for the port that keeps moving

Long mode starts listeners at t=0 and keeps them running past the
battery: a network-change watcher that finally fills networks[].changes[]
(defined since the schema's first draft, never populated), an RSSI log, a
ping series giving loss and jitter over minutes, and mDNS listening for
the whole window. This is the class of fault a short run cannot see - a
link that drops for four seconds between two probes is reported healthy
by both of them. run.mode records which question was asked, because
silence means different things in the two modes.

The adb relay replaces the retired beacon: AdbRelay watches adbd's own
mDNS with the resolve-once discipline the beacon learned the hard way
(resolving re-arms adbd and pops a notification), a foreground service
keeps it alive with the screen off, and the heartbeat re-posts the cached
endpoint rather than re-resolving. It exists because mDNS does not cross
subnets and the wireless-debug port rotates every few minutes.

Also records why LLDP/CDP cannot follow SSDP into long mode: both are raw
L2 frames, so they need CAP_NET_RAW - root tier, not app, and Shizuku's
shell user does not have it either.

/**
* How long the run watched the network — and therefore what its silence is worth.
*
* A [SHORT] run is a sequence of one-shot probes: each looks at the network for a second or two and
* moves on. That is enough to characterise a network's *configuration*, and it is structurally
* incapable of seeing anything intermittent. A wifi link that drops for four seconds every two
* minutes, a resolver that stalls under load, an AP that roams — none of these leave a trace in
* thirty seconds of probing unless the run happened to coincide with one.
*
* A [LONG] run starts continuous listeners at t=0, runs the same battery beside them, and keeps
* sampling until the window closes. It answers a different question, so a reader must not treat the
* two alike: **the mode is what licenses an argument from absence**. "No drops were observed" means
* something after five minutes of watching and nothing at all after a thirty-second run, and
* without this field the two documents are indistinguishable.

* The finding a short run cannot make.
