Report an allocated IPv4 address that is not on the host
IPv6 works end to end between two machines; IPv4 silently did not, and the agent said nothing useful about why. Allocation moved the address from something derivable before startup to something agreed at run time, so an interface configured by an earlier `tun-setup` carries a different address than the one allocated. The kernel then sends packets with that stale source and every peer drops them as not belonging to us — correct behaviour, invisible cause. Meanwhile pings to our own allocated address fall into the tunnel and land in the "nobody owns this" counter. The agent now checks whether its allocated address is assigned anywhere on the host — by binding a UDP socket to it, which needs no privileges and no platform code — and reports the exact `ip address add` command until it is, mentioning that another address of the range has to go. `tun-setup` no longer prints a derived IPv4 address, because that number is now wrong by construction. It says the agent will print the real one. The unroutable counter keeps one destination as a sample, in status output too. A bare count says something is wrong; the address says what.
