puter.peer: room names, relayed guest grants, servers that come back
A peer server could only be reached by the invite code the signaller
minted for it, which is unknowable ahead of time and dies with the
server's socket. Any app that wanted a link to share in advance or reuse
had to run a registry of its own that maps a stable code to whatever
invite is live — and keep it live, since the signaller socket can drop
without the library saying a word (`onclose` was an empty function),
leaving a host serving an invite nobody can dial.

`serve({ name })` serves under a room name of the caller's choosing;
`connect(name)` dials it. A name is held by whoever serves it and free
once they stop; serving a held name from another identity rejects with
`name_in_use`, from the same identity it takes over. A connection to a
room nobody serves fails with `no_host`, so a lobby has a definite answer
to poll on instead of guessing between "not yet" and "gone".

`serve({ guestGrant })` and `server.setGuestGrant()` leave a guest grant
with the signaller, which hands it to every anonymous guest in the connect
reply; the connection redeems it before making its offer, so a guest with
no session gets relays without the app publishing the grant anywhere.

A server whose signaller socket drops now re-registers on its own with
backoff — under the same name, or a fresh code announced by the new
`reconnect` event — and pings the socket to keep idle proxies from cutting
it. It fires `close` (`replaced`, `name_in_use`) when it has to stand
down for good. Existing connections are peer-to-peer and never affected.

Signaller refusals reach the connection's `error` event as an Error with
a `code` next to the message. Keepalive replies and stray frames no longer
throw in the message handlers.
