leetcrypt 7bd972f39c feat(srp): pure-Python server Verifier so Termux can HOST a room
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.

"""Interop gate for the pure-Python SRP shim.
The server authenticates with the real ``srp`` package (C-extension backend, see
cmd_chat/server/srp_auth.py). SRP is unforgiving: any mismatch in the N/g group,
k/x/u derivation, or the M1 / H_AMK hash inputs makes authentication fail. These
tests force the *pure* client (cmd_chat/client/_srp_pure) through a full
handshake and assert success — so a broken constant can never ship silently.
