Implements #149.

Landing dip and bow scale with the downward speed at touchdown: the knees sink the body toward a full crouch and the upper body leans over its legs, then ease back out. A jump landing gets a small dip; a near-splat gets a deep one. Below a small impact (stepping off a curb, walking down stairs) nothing fires.
Spread-eagle splat: landing at or past the freefall spread speed leaves the body face-down in the spread pose on the ground, input locked, for the recovery window; the existing stance crossfade then stands it back up, camera riding down with it in first person.
Canopy touchdowns route through the same reaction, so a harried dive-landing dips (and can splat) too.
Nothing rides the wire: the local sim records the touchdown from gravity's snap; remote bodies derive the landing from the interpolated pose motion, the same way freefall is already derived. Teleports, elevators, seats and flyers never trigger it. Mounting or sitting shakes a splat off rather than freezing its clock.

Workspace version bumped to 4.6.0; PROTOCOL_VERSION (major) unchanged, no wire change. just check green.

(slop) react to landing: dip and bow scale with touchdown speed; spread-eagle falls splat a12faad4bd

A touchdown crouches and bows the body in proportion to the fall speed,
eased back out as it recovers. A fall fast enough to spread eagle lands
face-down in a 0.5 s splat that locks the body on the ground. Nothing
rides the wire: the local sim records the touchdown from gravity's snap,
remote bodies derive it from interpolated vertical motion, like freefall.
