quic: add stream management

This patch introduces stream management infrastructure for the QUIC
protocol, including a hash table for tracking active streams, functions
for acquiring and releasing streams, and logic for detecting stream
ID limits.

If quic_stream_init() fails here, the function returns before calling
sk_sockets_allocated_inc() and sock_prot_inuse_add() below. However,
when initialization fails, inet_create() calls sk_common_release() which
invokes quic_destroy_sock():

quic_init_sock()
    quic_stream_init() fails
    return -ENOMEM
        -> sk_common_release()
            -> quic_destroy_sock()
                -> sk_sockets_allocated_dec()  // underflow
                -> sock_prot_inuse_add(..., -1)  // underflow

Can this cause counter underflow since the increments never executed but
the decrements in quic_destroy_sock() are unconditional?
