feat(tls): add mTLS support for pipeline TCP listener with explicit config flag
Pipeline TLS improvements: - Add MTLS bool to TlsConfig (implanttypes + configs) for explicit mTLS toggle - GetMTlsConfig() creates TLS config with RequireAndVerifyClientCert - TCP listener uses mTLS when pipeline config has mtls=true + CA cert - TLSProfile adds ServerCA, MTLS (nested struct) fields for profile YAML - DefaultTCPProfile/DefaultHTTPProfile pass CA cert from pipeline to profile mTLS E2E infrastructure: - NewRealMTLSTCPPipeline: generates CA + server cert + client cert - NewRealTLSTCPPipeline: generates CA + server cert (TLS only) - MTLSCerts struct for passing client certs to profile injection - generatePatchedBinary injects mTLS client cert into target TLS config Real implant E2E tests: - TestRealImplantTLSPipelineE2E: TLS with self-signed cert - TestRealImplantMTLSPipelineE2E: full mutual TLS with cert verification Fixes: - rem.go: fix compilation error (missing ControlStreamCount/Reconfigure) - mtls.go: add explanatory comment for InsecureSkipVerify pattern Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
