a06ac8aceb fix(#1849): render — for TRACE Hop Bytes column (path bytes are SNR, not hop hashes) (#1850)
Fixes #1849.

## Problem
The packets table "HB" (Hop Bytes / col-hashsize) column always shows
`1` for TRACE packets. TRACE packets use header path bytes as per-hop
SNR readings, not truncated hop hashes — see
`internal/packetpath/route.go` `PathBytesAreHops(TRACE) = false`. The
high-2-bit "hash_size" derivation applied to a SNR byte is meaningless
(typically `1`).

## Fix
At the 3 render sites in `public/packets.js` (`buildGroupRowHtml` header
row, its child rows, `buildFlatRowHtml`), when `payload_type === 9`
(TRACE) render `—` in the `col-hashsize` cell with a `title` tooltip
explaining that TRACE path bytes are SNR readings and directing users to
the sidebar decoder for the actual hop count. Non-TRACE rows unchanged.

## TDD
- Red commit: `dd7a4e78` — `test-issue-1849-trace-hashbytes.js` asserts
col-hashsize cell equals `—` with a title tooltip for TRACE, numeric for
non-TRACE. CI must fail on this commit.
- Green commit: `115368d0` — 3-site fix in `public/packets.js`.

## Verification
```
$ node test-issue-1849-trace-hashbytes.js
 All 4 tests passed
```
Preexisting failures in `test-packets.js` (13) are unchanged by this PR
(verified via `git stash`) — unrelated to the surface touched here.

## Scope
- `public/packets.js`: 3 render sites, +21/-8.
- `test-issue-1849-trace-hashbytes.js`: new unit test.
- `test-all.sh`: wire new test.
No public API change.
