Merge the old Firewall engine, AdminFirewall (parsing/persistence), and the
runtime TTL sweep into one single-threaded store: no locks/version-counter,
main-thread TTL expiry, and persistence to Configuration/firewall.json (with a
one-time firewall.cfg migration). Lookups go through a shared, coalesced
SortedRangeIndex<T> (binary search); IP conversion/parse helpers are collected
in IPAddressUtility. Firewall keeps IFirewallEntry for admin/gump/persistence.
