Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/2146

Goal: release Barrier 3.3.0 with the current 3.2.0 feature set while restoring interoperability with widely deployed Barrier 2.4.0 peers.\n\nAcceptance:\n- A 3.x client connecting to a 2.4.0 server negotiates protocol 1.6 behavior and does not send 3.x-only wire messages.\n- A 2.4.0 client connecting to a 3.x server remains supported without requiring display geometry/name messages.\n- Mixed client layouts are supported on a 3.x server: peers with 3.x display geometry use physical display rectangles; peers without geometry use a synthetic single rectangle from DINF.\n- 3.x-to-3.x enhanced display routing remains available.\n- Version and release notes are updated for 3.3.0 without environment-specific deployment details.
