fix(node): make ice_interfaces match adapters on Windows (W9)

`ice_interfaces` compared the operator's entry against ifaddr's
`adapter.name` only -- the kernel name on Linux (`wlp3s0f0`), but the adapter
GUID on Windows (`{846EE342-...}`). A setting written on Linux, or copied
into a Windows node's node.toml, matched no adapter at all.

The failure was silent and total rather than partial: aioice binds one socket
per host address, so an empty list means no sockets, no host candidates, and
an SDP offering only a reflexive address. The settings field is free text
with no picker, and on Windows the operator sees neither the GUID nor the
description -- `ipconfig` shows the connection name -- so an entry now
matches the adapter name, the device description, or one of the adapter's own
IPv4 addresses, case-insensitively. An address is the one identifier visible
on every platform.

A filter that matches nothing now falls back to the unfiltered list with a
warning. Losing the 5 s timeout saving is a regression; being silently
unconnectable is a defect.

Also fixes IPv4/IPv6 discrimination in the same loop: the two were told apart
by falling through to an `elif` that index-probed `ip.ip[0]` and `ip.ip[2]`,
which on an IPv4 str yields characters that compared unequal by luck rather
than by design. Now discriminated by isinstance.

WINDOWS-PORT.md claimed Transport had "no platform dependency"; it does.

+### 5.8 ICE interface naming (W9)
+
+**Scope:** `transport/ice_filter.py`
+
+`ice_interfaces` restricts ICE gathering to named adapters. The filter compared
+the operator's entry against `ifaddr`'s `adapter.name` only — the kernel name
+on Linux (`wlp3s0f0`), but the adapter **GUID** on Windows
+(`{846EE342-7039-11DE-9D20-806E6F6E6963}`). A setting written on Linux, or
+copied into a Windows guest's `node.toml`, therefore matched no adapter at all.
+
+The failure was silent and total rather than partial: aioice binds one socket
+per host address, so an empty list means no sockets, no host candidates, and an
+SDP offering only a server-reflexive address. Behind two NATs — a VM on a
+libvirt NAT inside a LAN — that address is unreachable for a peer on the
+intermediate LAN, so ICE never completes and the symptom reads as a network
+fault, not a config one.
+
+An entry now matches the adapter name, the device description
+(`adapter.nice_name`, which is what Windows populates), or one of the adapter's
+own IPv4 addresses — the settings field is free text with no picker, so
+operators write whichever identifier they can see. A filter that matches
+nothing falls back to the unfiltered list with a warning: losing the 5 s
+timeout saving is a regression, being unconnectable is a defect.
