feat(clients): unified full-screen connect/wake takeover + iOS/tvOS Wake-on-LAN

Give instant feedback the moment a host is picked, and make the wake wait a
full-screen takeover instead of a modal card — unified into one ConnectOverlay
across every client:

- android: new ConnectOverlay (aurora backdrop; Connecting / Waking / timed-out
  phases) replaces the tiny inline "Connecting…" row and the WakeOverlay card.
  The dial phase is now cancelable and hands off to the wake wait in one frame.
- console (pf-console-ui): the connect/wake overlays become a full-screen aurora
  takeover (draw_takeover) instead of a centered card over a dim scrim; the
  Waking → Connecting handoff no longer blinks.
- apple: new ConnectOverlay mirrors it (macOS / iOS / tvOS), replacing the
  per-tile connecting spinner + the WakeOverlay card; instant "Connecting…" from
  model.phase, and the carousel is gated inactive during the dial.

Also enable Wake-on-LAN on iOS/tvOS now that the multicast entitlement is
approved: enable com.apple.developer.networking.multicast and flip
wakeOnLANAvailable to true on every platform (MACs were already learned from
mDNS, so wake works immediately).

Verified: Android compileDebugKotlin + screenshot renders; console clippy +
36 tests + rendered phases on Linux; Apple swift build + 121 tests + rendered
phases.

+ *    Wake-on-LAN and waiting for it to advertise again (the old standalone `WakeOverlay`'s job),
+ *    escalating to a retry/cancel prompt on timeout.
+ *
+ * The two phases hand off within a single Compose frame (see ConnectScreen's `doConnectDirect` →
+ * `waker.start` → redial), so the overlay never blinks between them. It replaces both the touch grid's
+ * tiny inline "Connecting…" row and the old centred "Waking…" card with one opaque, aurora-backed
+ * screen — the same signature backdrop the console UI uses, so it reads as a deliberate takeover.
+ *
+ * Rendered over BOTH the touch grid and the console home; it swallows input to the screen behind it,
+ * and in console mode the pad drives it (B cancels via the BackHandler, A retries once a wake has timed
+ * out) with a hint bar spelling that out, while the touch buttons work for a pointer either way.
