fix: start and stop in the topological order that was computed

make_network computes Topo for the cycle check and then discarded it. The
node vector was filled in edge-declaration order — and then named
user_nodes_topo_ and relied upon as if it were sorted. halt() stops in its
reverse, and shutdown() walks it forwards stopping each node and draining its
outputs before the next, which is a graceful drain only if the order really
is sources-first.

It held for every network in this tree because edges happen to be declared in
pipeline order, so the two coincided. Declared any other way — which is legal
and which make_network otherwise accepts in silence — shutdown stops a
consumer before its producer and discards whatever was queued in front of it.

The order now comes from Topo::topo, which is already sources-first. Fanout
nodes appear there too and are skipped, since they are owned separately in
fanout_storage; they are still started after the user nodes and stopped
before them, so a fanout sitting between two user nodes is not staged
precisely during a drain. That is a smaller gap than the one being closed and
is left alone rather than restructured on the way past.

The test declares the sink edge first and the source edge last, and asserts
through shutdown() rather than by reading the order back — the order is
private, and what it buys is the point. A sources-first shutdown lets the
backlog queued in front of the slow relay reach the sink; stopping the relay
first discards all of it.

Worth recording how this went, because it is the more useful half: the new
test segfaulted, 12 runs in 20. Not a fault in the ordering change — it was
stopping sources first that finally put a live consumer behind a dead
producer, which is the condition the previous commit's crash needs. The
ordering fix did not introduce that bug, it made it reachable.

Verified in both directions: with declaration order the sink receives nothing
after shutdown begins; with topological order it receives the whole backlog.
