Server: request channel info and send version info first on a new connection β€” joiners become audible ~4 RTT soonerΒ #3961

Description

@mcfnord

πŸ€– AI: A joining client stays inaudible until the server has its channel info: the fade-in advances only once bIsIdentified is set (#1589), and OnNewConnection requests it seventh in a stop-and-wait queue, one RTT per message.

With CreateVersionAndOSMes() and CreateReqChanInfoMes() moved right after CreateClientIDMes(), a 4.0.0beta3 joiner is heard sooner (netem loopback, tone recorded at a second client, 5 joins each):

RTT current reordered
20 ms 197 ms 119 ms
100 ms 805 ms 395 ms
200 ms 1546 ms 749 ms

Moving only the channel-info request lands the sequence-counter switch inside the fade: a ~270 ms dropout on 8 of 8 joins. Moving both: 0–15 ms (current: 0–69 ms). Every client release 3.7.0–4.0.0beta3 joined (23 of 23).

It also shortens #3107's unidentified window: channel info arrives 302 ms after the first audio packet instead of 710 ms (100 ms RTT).

Does anything depend on the current order?
