9ns --mntgen: registry subdirectories are mount points too
A registry entry that is a directory is now served the way the root is: a synthetic directory listing the real one, dialing the sockets inside it on walk and recursing into further directories, to max_synth_depth (8) levels across max_synth_dirs (64) synthetic nodes. That is the plan9port mntgen shape and the layout zmx now posts under, so a live session reads at /mnt/9p/zmx/<name>. Before this a directory in the registry was dialed like a socket and answered EIO for good. post gains the two entry points the traversal needs: postedDir (the registry scan, against any directory) and dialPath (a dial by composed path, no name validation). Hardening, each from an attack that broke the code: - BATCH_FORGET carries entries for many owners and puts 0 in the header nodeid, so routing it by the header dropped all of them: 32 of 64 synthetic slots leaked in one close burst and the subdirectories that held them answered EIO forever. distributeForgets unpacks the body and hands each entry to its owner. - probe() and connectBlocking() copied a caller's path into the kernel address with no bound: a path past sun_path overran the 110-byte stack sockaddr (a panic in Debug, silent corruption in ReleaseFast). Both refuse it now, probe as `.live` so a claim never deletes what it could not inspect. - That bound then caught 9proc's own listener, which handed probe() the whole 108-byte sun_path array instead of the path inside it. The probe reads `.live` for anything it cannot ask about, so every stale socket became AlreadyListening and no server could ever take a dead predecessor's name back. It passes the path now. Suites: 87/87 root (+7 post/serve attack regressions), 48/48 9ns, 51+88 9ns integration (+4 traversal and slot-recycling checks), 213/0 9ns adversarial, 60/60 9proc plus its adversarial suites with a new stale-socket takeover check, freestanding green.
