feat(gateway): refresh remote MAC learning
The LAN switch has to keep learning that remote client MAC addresses live on the gateway port. Once the gateway injects a remote client's traffic, that learning can age out if the client is quiet, breaking the Layer 2 illusion. Track valid remote-client source MACs observed in relay traffic and inject a small padded CAM refresh frame for each known MAC every 60 seconds. The refresh frame uses the remote MAC as the Ethernet source and the gateway NIC MAC as the destination, with a local experimental EtherType so hosts should ignore it. PacketSocket now reads the wired interface hardware address with SIOCGIFHWADDR when opening the AF_PACKET socket. Non-Ethernet or invalid source interfaces fail early instead of starting a gateway that cannot emit refresh traffic. Test Plan: - cargo fmt --check - cargo test --workspace - cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings - git diff --check Refs: PLAN.md Linux gateway CAM-table refresh
