fix(network): reject duplicate HELLO instead of panicking

A peer that completed HELLO and sent a second one re-entered
`update_ingress_node_id` with its own token already in `node_id_index`,
hitting a `panic!` — a remotely-triggerable node panic from the
simultaneous-dial tie-break.

Reject a second HELLO on an already-ready session with `BadProtocol`
(disconnecting it like any protocol violation), and downgrade the
now-unreachable index branch to a soft error. Surfaced via #3510.
