refactor: daemon internals, and fix a leak the merge exposed

IdMultiplexer and EventRouter were the only classes in src/; they are now
createIdMultiplexer/createEventRouter closures like every other factory
here. The multiplexer kept {clientId, localId} per daemon id while the
bridge kept {send, clientId, localId, timer, isAttach} under the same key
— two maps of overlapping data, and mux.resolve()'s return value was
discarded at three of four call sites. One map now holds the union.

That merge fixes a real leak: removeClient cleared the multiplexer but
never the callbacks map, so a disconnected client's timers stayed armed
and later fired a response at a socket that was gone. clearClient now
cancels them, and a test pins it.

handleRequest polled every 250ms for up to 15s per request when Chrome
was down; N queued requests now await one connect signal.

server.ts uses its own protocol's serialize/deserialize instead of
hand-rolled JSON, and broadcast no longer routes through `this` — the
only `this` in the codebase, and the one thing that breaks when the
server object is destructured.

cdp/event-queue.ts held two unrelated concerns; the request/timeout half
moves to cdp/pending-requests.ts. cdp/daemon-transport.ts is the client
half of the daemon protocol, so it moves to daemon/transport.ts.

test/daemon/ needs adding to the test glob to run at all — there was no
daemon test directory before because none of this was reachable without
live Chrome.
