feat(privshield): implement SOTA-driven attackers and compliant controls (ADR-288 §sota)

From the verified 2025-2026 deep-research findings, all four approved code items,
each opt-in so the reference witness stays byte-identical (0x350d…f448):

- attacker: BFI->CSI Reconstruction adversary (BFIAttack) — recovers the
  direction of the CSI consistent with the *captured* report; a secret
  orthogonal rotation leaves it at chance (no key to invert). AdaptivePooling
  adversary (PrivISAC) — pools + whitens per identity; still collapses.
  `AttackerKind` selects the shape.
- protector: `ObfMode::PerPacketUnitary` — fresh per-packet unitary, AP-side and
  client-transparent (LeakyBeam family). `dp_epsilon` — ε-DP angular dither,
  renormalized to preserve emission energy (still not jamming).
- throughput: `dp_residual` makes ε a real privacy<->throughput knob (smaller ε
  costs more gain).
- experiment: `attacker_kind` + mode-aware keying dispatch.

Tests (43 pass, +5): reconstruction & adaptive-pooling collapse (and win
unprotected); per-packet mode collapses + compliant; ε-DP still collapses +
compliant; DP throughput frontier monotonic. clippy -D warnings clean, fmt
clean, wasm --lib builds. All new numbers remain SYNTHETIC/L0.
