Owner

The service holds tunnel state as instance attributes set via signals
(set_tun, set_dns, aqomui_service.py:213-222) and the GUI pulls it back
afterwards with return_tun_device (aqomui_gui.py:2338-2361). State lives in
two processes with no reconciliation after a service restart -- the service even
reasons about GUI/service version skew (check_version, aqomui_service.py:92).

Values are addressed by string concatenation throughout
(getattr(self, "tun{}".format(add))), which is how the DNS-to-the-wrong-
variable bug happened.

Target: one typed state object owned by the service, pushed to the GUI via a
single signal. This rides naturally on the management-interface work rather than
preceding it.
