feat(fips): selectable TCP/UDP transport when adding a seed anchor

The add-anchor form previously hardcoded transport=udp. Expose a
TCP/UDP selector (default tcp) so public internet anchors and
local-network anchors can both be added. Includes changelog + What's
New entry for v1.7.96-alpha.

 - The screen attached to your node now shows the normal Archipelago interface and your dashboard after you sign in, instead of a separate, stripped-down grid of app icons that could appear in its place. That extra screen has been removed so the attached display matches what you see everywhere else.
 - On a brand-new node, the attached screen now walks through the same welcome and setup steps you'd see on a phone or laptop, and shows the normal sign-in screen once the node is set up — so the on-device display always matches the rest of the interface.
+- When adding a FIPS network anchor, you can now choose whether it connects over TCP (for a public anchor reached across the internet) or UDP (for one on your local network), instead of it always assuming the local-network option.
 - Behind the scenes, a new automated two-node test now exercises real node-to-node features — browsing another node's shared files and handling a removed node — against live nodes before each release, so node-to-node problems are caught earlier.
