feat(discovery): implement relay infrastructure (Sprint 5.4)

- Add relay protocol messages (Register, SendPacket, Keepalive, etc.)
  - 9 message types with bincode serialization
  - End-to-end encryption (relay cannot decrypt payloads)
  - Comprehensive error handling with RelayError enum
  - 13 protocol tests covering all message types

- Implement RelayClient for connecting to relay servers
  - Async registration and packet forwarding
  - State machine: Disconnected → Connecting → Registering → Connected
  - Automatic keepalive mechanism with configurable intervals
  - Background message receiver task
  - 4 comprehensive tests

- Create RelayServer skeleton for packet forwarding
  - Client registration and connection management
  - Packet forwarding between registered peers
  - Rate limiting (configurable packets per client per second)
  - Client timeout and automatic cleanup tasks
  - RelayServerConfig with sensible defaults (10K clients, 100 pkt/s)
  - 6 comprehensive tests

- Add RelaySelector for intelligent relay selection
  - Multiple selection strategies:
    - LowestLatency: Minimum RTT
    - LowestLoad: Minimum load (0.0-1.0)
    - HighestPriority: Maximum priority
    - Balanced: Weighted scoring algorithm
  - Geographic region filtering
  - Latency measurement and tracking
  - Load balancing and fallback relay ordering
  - 14 comprehensive tests

- Integration tests: 10 new tests covering full relay workflow
  - Server startup and client connections
  - Relay selection algorithms
  - Region filtering and latency updates
  - Strategy switching

Test Results: 47 new tests (37 unit + 10 integration), all passing
Quality Gates: fmt ✓, clippy ✓, test ✓
Phase 5 Progress: Sprint 5.4 Complete (110/123 SP, 89%)
