Harden Infonet DM address flow and seed sync

Allow local-operator DM invite import without requiring a full admin session.

Prioritize bundled/bootstrap seed peers and shorten stale seed cooldowns for faster Infonet recovery.

Replace raw DM invite dumps with copyable signed-address controls, contact request handling, and safer sealed-send behavior while the private delivery route connects.
