test: fix TcpProxy close/race in test_client_routes.py NLB test helper

TcpProxy.stop()/drop_connections() used to close a connection's sockets
directly, from the manager thread, while that connection's own forwarder
thread could still be blocked in select()/recv() on those exact file
descriptors -- a classic close-under-concurrent-user race. Since fds are
process-global, closing them could let the OS silently recycle the fd
number into a brand new connection before the stale forwarder thread's
blocked call unwound, causing it to read/write/close a socket that no
longer belonged to it (observed here as unhandled
"ValueError: file descriptor cannot be a negative integer (-1)" crashes
in _forward_loop once a socket was closed out from under it). stop()
also only ever joined the accept-loop thread, never the per-connection
forwarder threads it had just closed sockets out from under.

Fix, scoped entirely to this test helper (no driver code touched):
- TcpProxy._connections now maps (client_sock, target_sock) -> the
  forwarder thread serving that pair.
- stop()/drop_connections() now shut down (SHUT_RDWR) both sockets --
  safe to do concurrently with a blocked select()/recv(), unlike
  close() -- and then join() every forwarder thread before returning.
  Only the forwarder thread itself ever closes its own sockets now,
  and only after it has fully stopped using them.
- _handle_new_connection starts the forwarder thread before publishing
  it into _connections, so a concurrent stop()/drop_connections() can
  never observe (and try to join) a thread that hasn't started yet.
- NLBEmulator.add_node()/remove_node() now serialize against each
  other via an RLock, so a new proxy/connection can never be created
  while another thread's remove_node() is still tearing one down.
- NLBEmulator._live_addresses() (read by rr_handler(), the discovery
  port's round-robin accept handler, from the discovery TcpProxy's own
  accept-loop thread) now also snapshots self._node_proxies under the
  same _lock that add_node()/remove_node() mutate it under. Previously
  it iterated the dict unlocked, so a concurrent add_node()/remove_node()
  could raise "RuntimeError: dictionary changed size during iteration"
  on that thread.

Fixes #948.

Validation:
- Standalone stress harness (no CCM needed) driving concurrent
  clients through TcpProxy while repeatedly calling
  drop_connections()/stop()+restart from another thread: pre-fix,
  40 iterations produced 162 unhandled ValueError crashes; post-fix,
  40 iterations (same parameters) and a follow-up 150-iteration run
  produced zero corruptions/exceptions/leaked threads.
- Standalone stress harness driving concurrent readers directly
  exercising _live_addresses() against concurrent add_node()/
  remove_node() churn: pre-fix, 313 "dictionary changed size during
  iteration" RuntimeErrors over 447k calls in 5s; post-fix, zero
  errors over 1.9M+ calls across three separate runs.
- Full end-to-end runs of
  TestFullNodeReplacementThroughNlb::test_should_survive_full_node_replacement_through_nlb
  against a real CCM cluster, both before and after the fix, to
  check for behavioral regressions and reproduce the reported
  flakiness.
- Full tests/unit/ suite: 720 passed, 88 skipped, 0 failed.
