Add LLDP - dispatched by ethertype, no IP layer at all
Real switches broadcast this every ~30s, but this project had zero treatment for it (0x88CC was previously the test suite's own example of an "unhandled ethertype"). Dispatched by ethertype the same way ARP is, since LLDP sits directly on Ethernet. TLV-encoded; only the three mandatory TLVs (Chassis ID, Port ID, TTL) plus System Name are rendered, while every other TLV is still walked over correctly so nothing after it is lost. Live-verified two ways, since this machine is on WiFi (LLDP isn't relayed to wireless clients even when a real switch sends it) with no LLDP daemon installed to generate traffic locally either: a 15-second passive capture confirmed no organic LLDP traffic exists to accidentally rely on, then a real 802.1AB frame was sent via a raw AF_PACKET socket onto the actual NIC (not fed directly to parse_lldp() in a unit test) and captured through the full pipeline, decoding correctly.
