Adopt PR #190 multicast round-trip probe for UDP CI stability.

TrentHouliston · cursoragent · TrentHouliston · commit da737fff5c4c · 2026-06-16T15:18:28.000+10:00
Replace the send-only multicast probe with PR #190's canonical send/receive round-trip detection (clang-tidy-clean), guard the UDP loopback matrix on Windows CI, and bump the UDP test timeout to match #190. Also resolve clang-tidy diagnostics introduced by the earlier wait_for fix (unused <utility>, non-forwarded forwarding reference). Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
