docs: document traffic filter for dut-network driver + E2E tests

[mangelajo]

Summary

Adds documentation and E2E tests for the traffic filter feature of the dut-network driver.

Documentation (README.md)

• New Traffic Filtering section with examples for:
  • Egress allowlist (drop everything except specific destinations)
  • Egress denylist (allow everything except specific destinations)
  • Ingress filtering (restrict inbound connections)
• Filter rule fields reference table
• filter parameter added to the main config reference table

E2E Tests

• New exporter config (exporter-dut-network-filter.yaml) with egress policy: drop and a single TCP accept rule
• Three new E2E test cases:
  • Allowed traffic: TCP to the permitted port passes through the filter
  • Blocked TCP: TCP to a non-allowed port is dropped
  • Blocked ICMP: ping is dropped when egress policy is drop
• Refactored TCP server/client into shared startTCPServer/tcpConnect/killCmd helpers (used by both base and filter tests)
• Updated e2e/README.md with the filter sub-lane documentation

Testing

• Go vet passes
• Filter tests use the same veth/netns topology as the base dut-network tests but with a separate exporter on port 19092

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds a filtered DUT network exporter, reusable TCP test helpers, serial E2E coverage for allowed and blocked traffic, and documentation for nftables filter configuration.

Changes

DUT network traffic filtering

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Filtered exporter contract e2e/exporters/exporter-dut-network-filter.yaml, python/packages/jumpstarter-driver-dut-network/README.md	Adds an egress filter that allows TCP port 9997 and drops other traffic. Documents egress, ingress, and filter rule fields.
Filtered network validation e2e/test/dut_network_test.go, e2e/README.md	Adds reusable TCP helpers and a serial E2E suite for nftables rules, permitted TCP traffic, blocked TCP traffic, and blocked ICMP traffic. Documents the new E2E tests.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 7d5c0

The new traffic-filter test may report blocked traffic even when its target server never became available, weakening validation of the filter behavior. Confirm listener readiness before running the blocked-port check.

Poem

A rabbit checks the rules at night
Port nine-nine-nine-seven shines bright
Other paths meet drops in line
Ping hops back without a sign
Tests thump softly: all is tight

In `@e2e/test/dut_network_test.go`:
- Line 288: Update startTCPServer to emit and wait for a readiness signal only
after listen succeeds, while detecting and failing if the child process exits
before signaling readiness. Replace the fixed 500ms sleep before the
blocked-port test with this readiness synchronization so tcpConnect runs only
against an open listener.
