[client] Keep WireGuard keepalive only until the first handshake

Gated behind NB_DISABLE_WG_KEEP_ALIVE for battery measurements; unset the
variable and the behaviour is unchanged.

Peers start with the 25s persistent keepalive so an idle responder still
emits traffic and triggers the handshake initiation, then the interval
drops to zero once the watcher observes a fresh handshake. The keepalive
is re-armed whenever a connection attempt restarts, so every new
handshake gets initiated the same way.

The watcher also stops its periodic handshake check after that first
observation: with keepalive disabled an idle peer never rotates its
handshake, so the periodic check would report a false disconnect every
checkPeriod and trigger a full reconnect.
