Add a regression test for the TX credit bounds fix. The test verifies that a sender with a small local buffer size cannot queue excessive data even when the peer advertises a large receive buffer. The client: - Sets a small buffer size (64 KiB) - Connects to server (which advertises 2 MiB buffer) - Sends in non-blocking mode until EAGAIN - Verifies total queued data is bounded This guards against the original vulnerability where a remote peer could cause unbounded kernel memory allocation by advertising a large buffer and reading slowly.
