Add mesh diagnostics: /ping, /trace, and topology map

- New protocol types ping=0x26 / pong=0x27 (9-byte payload: 8-byte nonce
  + origin TTL) with per-peer inbound rate limiting (5 per 10s)
- /ping @name reports RTT and hop count, 10s timeout
- /trace @name prints the estimated path from gossiped directNeighbors
- Topology map sheet (circular Canvas layout) reachable from App Info
- Ping/pong ride the deterministic directed-relay path like DMs
- Tests: payload round-trip, hop-count math, command output, edge
  normalization, layout
