fix: split-tunnel default for peers, port check via wg interface, tunnel mode toggle in UI

- check_port_open now checks if wg0 interface is actually listening (via
  'wg show wg0') instead of requiring a live peer handshake. This means
  the port shows 'Open' whenever WireGuard is running, not only when a
  peer has connected recently.

- get_peer_config defaults to split-tunnel AllowedIPs (10.0.0.0/24,
  172.20.0.0/16) so VPN clients only route cell service traffic through
  the tunnel. Local LAN traffic (192.168.x.x etc.) stays direct, fixing
  the 60-120ms penalty when pinging local hosts while on VPN.

- Peer config modal now uses cell DNS (172.20.0.2) so .cell domains
  resolve correctly with both split and full tunnel.

- Added split/full tunnel toggle in the peer config modal so users can
  download either config variant.
