The IPC TCP listener was binding on startup which was triggering antivirus detections (ESET + Microsoft were flagging it on VirusTotal, 1-2/70). Made the listener lazy so it only opens when you actually join a server instead of on startup.

Ran both builds through VirusTotal:

  • Before: 1-70 (ESET + Microsoft)
  • After: 0/67

Just moved the bind to right before DLL injection in the inject command, stored the app handle with a OnceLock so it's available when needed.

Closes #419

The IPC TCP listener was binding on startup which triggered AV
detections (1-2/70 on VirusTotal). Now it only binds when joining
a server, reducing detections to 0/67.

Closes openmultiplayer#419
