feat(a7): SCRAM-SHA-256 daemon auth to replace replayable digest

Replace the challenge-less static-SHA-256 daemon bearer credential with a
SCRAM-SHA-256-style challenge/response and a salted PBKDF2 verifier store.
PROTOCOL_VERSION 2.18.0 -> 2.19.0; legacy user:SHA256HEX stores hard-reject.

- credentials: b64/rand/PBKDF2/HMAC primitives, verifier store parser,
  constant-time proof verify + ServerSignature, --hash-credentials helper
- config: auth block is now [present][username]; client runs the challenge
  exchange; config_burn_auth wipes plaintext/derived secrets (A7-4)
- server: gate drives the challenge, dummy verifier for unknown/off-list users
- tests: independent Python KAT, replay + legacy integration tests, fuzz paths
- docs: new store format, --hash-credentials, 2.19.0 bump

TLS verification behavior (A7-3/S1) is intentionally unchanged.

## Protocol and Security
FastSync protocol version `2.18.0` is shared by the client and server. The
FastSync protocol version `2.19.0` is shared by the client and server. The
current protocol is sender-driven and includes configuration negotiation,
including the maximum allocation limit, incremental checks, checksums,
manifests, keep-alives, abort handling, per-file remove-source results, and
FastSync-native delta messages.
Client and server versions must currently match exactly.
Daemon modules that declare `auth users` authenticate with a SCRAM-SHA-256-style
challenge/response against a salted PBKDF2 verifier store: no password and no
replayable bearer credential crosses the wire or is stored on the daemon. Store
lines are generated with `fastsync-server --hash-credentials <plaintext-file>`
(see `RSYNC_COMPAT.md`); legacy `user:SHA256HEX` stores are rejected.
TLS provides encrypted TCP transport. Supplying `--ca` enables certificate
verification; without it, traffic is encrypted but peer identity is not
verified. Use certificate verification for deployments where authentication
