// same whether nebula was started from a shell or by a service manager. It deliberately
// does not live in nebula.Main: the control socket is on by default, so an embedder
// inside an app sandbox would have to know to turn off a socket it cannot use. Wiring it
// at the daemon entry points means embedders get the command registry and no listener.
//
// Every failure below is a warning, bar one. Nebula is expected to keep forwarding
// packets whether or not anyone can reach it; but a name that another process holds is
// not a misconfiguration, it is a process that will be answering nebula ctl in the
// daemon's place, and that is logged as an error.
//
// Call it after Control.Start, so the listeners only exist once the interface is up.
