fix: reject malformed peer connection types instead of panicking

Peer::new_from_message, NewPeer::new_from_message and the listener's
parse_peer_init_message parsed an untrusted connection-type string with
.parse().unwrap(), panicking on anything other than P/F/D. Reachable from:
- a malicious server via ConnectToPeer (kills a thread-pool worker), and
- any peer connecting to our listener (kills the accept loop).

new_from_message now returns Option and callers drop malformed messages;
the listener rejects the connection. Added a regression test for truncated
TransferRequest parsing, now safe via the bounds-checked readers.
