Implements Request Sync Manager for secure, attributed synchronization. Updates BinaryProtocol with IS_RSR flag and RequestSyncPacket with requestId and filters. Enforces timestamp validation in SecurityManager while exempting solicited RSR packets. Updates GossipSyncManager to use unicast sync requests.
Treats packets with SYNC_TTL_HOPS (0) as potential RSR candidates. If validated against a pending request, they bypass timestamp checks. If unsolicited, legacy packets fall through to standard timestamp validation (rejected if old), while explicit RSR packets are rejected immediately.
