anti 58ca9075db feat(net): stealth-egress httpx client factory
Outbound calls to 3rd-party services (threat-intel providers, future TI
lookups) MUST NOT advertise 'DECNET' in their user-agent — operators
running honeypots want their reconnaissance dependencies to look like
generic infra. New decnet.net.http.stealth_client() returns a fresh
httpx.AsyncClient with a curl-shaped UA (pinned to a single constant so
future siblings — browser-shaped, Go-shaped — sit next to it cleanly).

Internal egress (webhook → operator's own SIEM, swarm worker → master)
keeps its DECNET-tagged UA; the docstring is explicit about not routing
those through this client.

"""Stealth-egress httpx.AsyncClient factory.
Per the project's stealth posture, outbound calls to *third-party*
services (threat-intel providers, public APIs) MUST NOT advertise
"DECNET" in their User-Agent or other request fingerprints — operators
running honeypots want their reconnaissance dependencies to look like
generic infra, not like a tagged tool.
Canonical helper for any future module that needs to call a public API
without leaking the DECNET label. Internal calls (worker → operator's
own SIEM via webhook, swarm agent → master) deliberately keep
DECNET-tagged user-agents because the recipient wants the audit trail —
do NOT route those through this client.
Usage::
from decnet.net.http import stealth_client
async with stealth_client() as client:
resp = await client.get("https://api.greynoise.io/v3/community/1.2.3.4")
The chosen UA mimics ``curl`` because it's the single most common
"non-browser, non-named-tool" UA on the public internet — anti-bot
filters routinely permit it, and an attacker who got a peek at our
egress wouldn't learn anything more specific than "something used curl".
