p2p/simulations/adapters: post startup info through one-shot server

This avoids log parsing and allows reporting startup errors to the
simulation host.

A small change in package node was needed because simulation nodes use
port zero. Node.{HTTP,WS}Endpoint now return the live endpoints after
startup by checking the TCP listener.
