nym: restore scoped exit as fast money path + relay.floonet.dev cutover

The 180s cold connect was the public-IPR path (nested TCP over the mixnet) plus
the public-exit lottery -- NOT the scoped exit, which was removed by mistake in
3372202. Restore the co-located MixnetStream exit: a relay connects in 0-2s over
it (measured), vs 15-180s over the tunnel.

- Cold-start sequencer: streamexit::is_ready + a bounded EXIT_HEAD_START gate in
  nymproc so the exit client claims its Nym bandwidth grant before the tunnel,
  avoiding two-client serialization (~1min otherwise). No SDK surgery.
- Pin relay.floonet.dev as the primary money-path relay (with its co-located
  exit) in PINNED_POOL; keep relay.goblin.st as a secondary through transition.
- E2E: a funded 0.1 GRIN payment finalizes in 6s over the exit across two
  different Grin nodes (grincoin.org, main.gri.mw).
