feat(x/nts): add NTS support (#88)

Implement NTS (RFC 8915) with KERecord zero-copy frame, PerformKE
(TLS 1.3 + ExportKeyingMaterial), DeriveKeys, and Client state
machine implementing lneto.StackNode. Client handles cookie pool
management, auth body codec with nonce/ciphertext, and two-exchange
NTP flow with UniqueID verification and AEAD authentication.

Add NTS Server wrapping ntp.Server with AEAD verification/sealing,
and HandleKE for server-side NTS Key Exchange over TLS 1.3.

Use internal.LogAttrs for non-allocating structured logging
throughout the NTS client, matching existing conventions.

Generated with LLM assistance.

+//
+// # Protocol overview
+//
+// NTS adds an authentication layer on top of NTPv4. It has two phases:
+//
+//  1. Key Exchange (NTS-KE, TCP port 4460): a TLS 1.3 handshake followed by
+//     a small application-layer record exchange that negotiates the AEAD
+//     algorithm and distributes opaque cookies. Use [PerformKE] to run this
+//     phase over a caller-owned *tls.Conn.
+//
+//  2. Authenticated NTP: each request carries a Unique-ID extension field, a
+//     Cookie extension field (from the pool obtained in phase 1), and an
+//     NTS-Authenticator-and-EEF field sealed with the C2S AEAD key. Use
+//     [Client] as the lneto [StackNode] for this phase.
+//
+// # Cipher note
+//
+// RFC 8915 §5.1 mandates AEAD_AES_SIV_CMAC_256 ([AlgAESSIVCMAC256]); it is the
+// only algorithm a compliant implementation must support and the sole one
+// registered at the time of writing. This algorithm is not part of the Go
+// standard library, and lneto deliberately does not ship cryptographic
+// primitives. Callers must therefore supply their own [cipher.AEAD]
+// implementation, keyed with the C2S and S2C material in [KESecrets], via
+// [ClientConfig] and [ServerConfig]. Any external or standard-library
+// [cipher.AEAD] may be plugged in, but only AEAD_AES_SIV_CMAC_256 is
