feat(#2862): push a snapshot to a peer hive's store over the mesh

Adds the caller the fd-passing machinery existed for: hivectl agent
<name> subvol snapshot push --peer <hive> resolves the peer, connects
to its snapshot store, writes the agent header, and hands the connected
socket to hive-priv, which runs btrfs send straight into it.

The split keeps the root helper ignorant. Everything that involves
knowing where a peer is, what the wire protocol looks like, and which
hive to trust happens in the unprivileged daemon; hive-priv only ever
receives an already-open descriptor. Once btrfs send starts, neither
process is in the data path, so a multi-gigabyte transfer costs no
per-byte work and survives a hive-c0re restart.

call_with_fd takes the descriptor by value and closes it as soon as the
kernel has it. A socket stays open until every copy closes, so holding
one back would leave the receiver waiting for an EOF that never comes:
btrfs receive blocks and this side reports success for a transfer the
peer never committed. Ownership makes that unrepresentable.

The peer's store port is a new swarm.peers.<domain>.snapshotStorePort
option rather than a constant matching the module default. A pushing
hive cannot read the receiver's configuration, so assuming 51821 would
push at a port nobody promised to listen on; absent, the push fails
naming the option. swarm_peers parses the mesh address the host module
has always rendered into HYPERHIVE_PEERS but nothing read.
