fix(host/gamestream): correct the rsa-Marvin (S7) rationale + cap pairing signatures

Red-team found the .cargo/audit.toml justification for RUSTSEC-2023-0071 was
materially wrong: it claimed "Marvin targets decryption, so the vulnerable path
isn't exercised" — but the advisory is a variable-time modexp of the secret
exponent, which RSA *signing* (signing_key.sign) also runs. The accept is still
correct, for the RIGHT reasons (no decryption/padding oracle; the signed
serversecret is host-random not attacker-chosen; signing is operator-PIN-gated;
GameStream is off by default and the native QUIC plane uses rustls, not rsa;
Moonlight mandates RSA-2048 so the GameStream key can't move off it). Rewrite
the rationale accordingly.

Also shut the timing-sample amplifier the review surfaced: the pairing session
was never marked after phase 3, so a peer past phase 1 could loop phase2/phase3
to harvest many RSA signing-time samples. Sign exactly once per ceremony
(reject a repeated serverchallengeresp).

# Signer / Verifier) — it never performs RSA decryption, which is the operation Marvin targets. # limited to decryption — so "the vulnerable path isn't exercised" is false; signing exercises it.
# So the vulnerable code path is not exercised. Revisit if a fixed rsa ships or we add RSA decrypt. # We accept it because the attack is not practically reachable here, NOT because the path is unused:
# * No RSA decryption / PKCS#1v1.5 padding oracle exists anywhere (every `decrypt` in the tree is
# AES/AES-GCM), so the classic Bleichenbacher/Marvin chosen-ciphertext oracle is absent.
# * The only signed message (`serversecret`) is HOST-generated random, never attacker-chosen — so
# there's no adaptive chosen-input probing (the lever remote RSA-timing key recovery needs); and
# signing is gated behind the operator-entered pairing PIN, ONE signature per ceremony (a
# repeated phase-3 is rejected — gamestream/pairing.rs — to deny a passive timing-sample harvester).
# * GameStream is OFF by default (bare `serve` is native-only); the secure native QUIC plane uses
# rustls' constant-time backend, NOT the rsa crate. RSA is touched only on the opt-in,
# trusted-LAN GameStream/Moonlight pairing handshake. Moonlight mandates RSA-2048, so the
# GameStream identity cannot move to Ed25519/ECDSA (only the native identity could, and it
# already avoids the rsa crate).
# There is NO fixed rsa release (the constant-time rewrite is still unreleased upstream). Revisit if:
# a constant-time rsa ships (then drop this), the host ever signs an attacker-chosen message with
# this key, or any RSA decryption / key-transport using the private key is added.
