Drop the M0 no-deps skeleton preset and all VOICECAT_HAS_NET/AUDIO/OPUS/NS
guards that it required. Every subsystem is fully implemented; the stub
#else paths were dead code that added noise to every header and source file.
- CMakePresets.json: remove skeleton configure/build/test entries
- CMakeLists.txt (root/core/tests): remove VOICECAT_USE_VCPKG_DEPS option
and guards; all targets now build unconditionally
- 17 C++ source files: unwrap HAS_* guards, delete stub #else blocks
- apm_processor.cpp: delete ApmPassthrough no-op class; create() always
returns RnnoiseProcessor
- 18 test files: remove HAS_* guards and stub int main() skip bodies
- docs/building.md: remove skeleton from preset table and prose
VOICECAT_HAS_LOOPBACK (Windows WASAPI loopback platform gate) unchanged.
29/29 ctest green.

Three reported bugs traced to one root cause plus two missing designed features:
1. Stale users + eternal PLC hiss (root cause): ConnSession::close() silently
erased dropped users without broadcasting UserEvent::LEFT, so peers never
learned the user left and their audio engines never called remove_stream —
Opus PLC synthesized comfort noise forever. Fix: broadcast_left() helper
+ close() broadcasts LEFT before erasing.
2. PLC cap (defense-in-depth): on_playback now caps pure PLC at ~2s, then
emits digital silence so a stale stream can never hiss forever even if
remove_stream is skipped. Resets automatically on fresh packets.
3. No timeout / no ping: client never sent Ping, server had no last_seen /
reaper, so half-open connections (NAT timeout, wifi loss, sleep) left
ghost users forever. Fix: client Ping every 15s with RTT measurement,
ConnSession::last_seen bumped on every inbound TCP/UDP frame, steady_timer
reaper sweeps every 15s and drops sessions older than 45s (configurable
via server::Config).
4. UDP KEEPALIVE: client sends plaintext kFrameKeepalive every 5s; server
bumps last_seen + echoes back. Keeps NAT bindings alive and lets media
activity defer the reaper independently of TCP.
5. Graceful client disconnect: vc_disconnect() sends Disconnect{code=0} via
a flag-based io-thread exit (no double-close race); server handles
client-sent Disconnect with immediate close() + LEFT broadcast.
3 new tests: disconnect_left, plc_cap, reaper_timeout. 21/21 ctest green.
