ForwardedClientAddress lets a trusted proxy, such as a web receiver that relays SimTX to browsers, tell the server the real address of the person it is serving. The server then applies per-IP limits, wideband budgets and bans to that address instead of the proxy's. Ordinary clients never send it.

- Only valid on receiver connections (roles 1 and 6), and only as the first packet after the handshake, before the ReceiverSessionRequest.
- The connection must be authenticated with an account that holds
proxy.forward_client_ip. Otherwise the server closes the connection.
- An invalid address, or an address that is banned, closes the connection.
- The connection count limit of 32 per IP address still applies to the proxy's own address.
