Subject: net: pump the network from the console wait (answer pings at the
 prompt)

A Game Boy sitting at the shell prompt now services the network instead of
being deaf until you run netd: KGetc (the console input wait) pumps net_pump
each poll, so inbound pings are auto-answered while idle. net_pump gained an
in-frame model and routes any non-framed link bytes to a small console-input
ring (con_push/con_pop), so a headless-injected command still reaches the shell
while SLIP frames go to the stack. Removes the old SLIP-skip-in-KGetc hack.

Verified: two Game Boys on the hub, GB0 idle at the prompt (no netd), GB1
`ping 10.0.0.2` -> 4/4 replies, routed GB1->hub->GB0->hub->GB1.

(Separate, pre-existing: gbhub *spawn* mode and windowed gbjoin can drop an idle
link socket - under investigation; daemon mode + headless is solid.)
