Shared SSH connection cancellation audit

Cancelling a transfer while its isolated SFTP channel is opening calls the bounded-open abort path. Previously that path ended/destroyed the physical SSH transport. Production pooled SFTP sessions normally share a terminal SSH connection, so cancelling one transfer can disconnect terminals, browsing and other transfers. The same teardown happened on the channel-open deadline.

The real startTransfer/cancelTransfer path reproduces physical end/destroy calls; its old test double lacked those methods and could not detect the problem.

The repair rejects the abandoned caller promptly, retains the shared transport, closes a channel arriving after abandonment, and blocks further channel-open allocation on that transport while any abandoned request remains unresolved. This bounds retry accumulation without queuing controls behind a transfer. Healthy parallel opens remain allowed; callback settlement or transport closure releases the abandoned-open bookkeeping. Existing active channels remain usable.

This separately reproduced mechanism is relevant to the connection-loss themes in #2973 and #2832, but does not establish the cause of their VPN/jump-host reports.
