The reconnect backoff waited on `Wake`, which `Emit` signals on every
frame, so it lasted only until the next hook fired. That was invisible
while a failed connect was silent; against a sidecar that now refuses a
plugin naming another server (D155) the phase 18 walk measured some 250
redials a second, each printing two console lines and rebuilding the
boards. It now waits on `_stopping`, the handle that already exists so a
CONNECT is not abandoned by `Emit`; Unload still ends the wait at once.
The backoff also resets only after a link has held for 10 s
(StableLinkMs). A connection closed on arrival used to reset it to 500 ms
on every accept, so a refusal loop never backed off at all.
Walked: a plugin aimed at another server's sidecar is refused every 5 s
(the ceiling), not continuously; a stable link whose sidecar restarts is
back in 0.49 s, as before; no Unload stall on reload.

Init() started LinkLoop before Loaded() read the config, so the thread's
first dial saw _config == null and used the 7799 fallback on both Oxide and
Carbon. One server per host made that its own sidecar by coincidence. With
two on a host (the installer's named instances, phase 18), the second
server dialled the FIRST server's sidecar, sat in its accept backlog, and
the moment the first server's plugin reloaded that sidecar took the second
server's connection: the website showed server "alpha" with beta's
hostname and wipe.
LoadConfigValues() now runs in Init() before the thread starts; Loaded()
keeps its log line and the lease/world/reward loads.
Walked on the phase 18 rig: three instances (two Oxide, one Carbon 7801),
each now dials its own port.
