The srp package's C-extension has no aarch64/bionic wheel, so a phone in
Termux couldn't run the room server. Add the server side of SRP-6a
(create_salted_verification_key + Verifier) to the pure-Python shim and
fall srp_auth.py back to it on ImportError.
Proven live: a laptop (C-ext srp client) authenticated against a room
HOSTED ON THE PHONE (pure Verifier) over Tailscale — cross-implementation
handshake with matching session keys. Locked in with interop tests
covering real-client-vs-pure-Verifier, pure-vs-pure, and a wrong-password
negative control.

SRP fails silently on any constant/hash mismatch, so gate the shim with a live
handshake: (1) pure User vs the real srp.Verifier, (2) a negative wrong-password
control, and (3) the full /srp/init -> /srp/verify HTTP flow against the real
server routes (backed by the real srp lib). All assert the phone operator
authenticates.
