On iOS the tunnel reconfiguration (setTunnelNetworkSettings) was driven
from three independent Go paths without serialization: route prefix
updates via the route notifier's own delivery loop, interface IP/IPv6
set synchronously from the engine start goroutine, and DNS config
applied from the DNS apply chain through a separate Swift object. The
three sources mutated the shared Swift settings-manager state
concurrently and triggered overlapping updateTunnel() calls, losing or
half-applying route and DNS settings.
Introduce client/internal/tunnelnotifier: a single notifier that
implements both listener.NetworkChangeListener and dns.IosDnsManager,
queues all four callbacks (OnNetworkChanged, SetInterfaceIP,
SetInterfaceIPv6, ApplyDns) in one FIFO and delivers them one-by-one
from a single goroutine, so calls into Swift never overlap and arrive in
order. RunOniOS wraps the two Swift objects into the notifier and closes
it after the run loop exits.
The route notifier keeps its prefix dedup but delegates delivery to the
shared notifier instead of maintaining its own queue and loop; the dedup
check and the enqueue stay under one mutex so queue order matches
state-update order. Setting the interface IP becomes asynchronous, which
is safe: on iOS wgInterface.Create() only uses the TunFd, and the FIFO
preserves the IP -> routes/DNS relative order.
The package is build-tag free so the unit tests run on any platform
under -race. Android is unaffected: it receives all settings atomically
in one configureInterface call and serializes TUN rebuilds on a single
handler thread.

## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **New Features**
* Improved iOS tunnel networking by coordinating network, interface,
route, and DNS updates through a unified notifier.
* Updated iOS behavior so route/prefix changes are applied immediately
instead of via queued/background delivery.
* **Bug Fixes**
* Improved reliability by ensuring network and DNS-related callbacks are
invoked in order without overlap.
* Ensured pending updates are drained and handled correctly during
shutdown.
* **Tests**
* Added coverage for FIFO ordering, non-overlapping callback execution,
interleaved DNS/route updates, and graceful shutdown behavior.

* Add DNS list argument for mobile client
* Write testable code
Many places are checked the wgInterface != nil condition.
It is doing it just because to avoid the real wgInterface creation for tests.
Instead of this involve a wgInterface interface what is moc-able.
* Refactor the DNS server internal code structure
With the fake resolver has been involved several
if-else statement and generated some unused
variables to distinguish the listener and fake
resolver solutions at running time. With this
commit the fake resolver and listener based
solution has been moved into two separated
structure. Name of this layer is the 'service'.
With this modification the unit test looks
simpler and open the option to add new logic for
the permanent DNS service usage for mobile
systems.
* Remove is running check in test
We can not ensure the state well so remove this
check. The test will fail if the server is not
running well.
Add new feature to notify the user when new client route has arrived.
Refactor the initial route handling. I move every route logic into the route
manager package.
* Add notification management for client rules
* Export the route notification for Android
* Compare the notification based on network range instead of id.
