fix(interop/ivpn): Handle local service port connections

The changes add support for tracking and properly routing connections to the IVPN client's local service port,
which is needed when the default firewall action is to block unknown connections.
The verdict handler is now registered earlier in the connection flow to handle connections while the client is connecting.
