Per moq-lite Lite-03 (kixelated/moq `rs/moq-lite/src/lite/announce.rs`),
a publisher MUST only emit `Announce(Active)` for broadcasts whose path
starts with the requested AnnouncePlease prefix. Pre-fix, when
`MoqLitePath.stripPrefix(please.prefix, ourSuffix)` returned `null`, we
fell through to `?: announcePublisher.suffix` and emitted Active under
our full suffix anyway, falsely advertising the broadcast under a
prefix the subscriber didn't request.
Production never bit because the relay always opens its announce bidi
to us with `prefix=""` (which always matches), but a future peer-to-
peer or namespace-scoped subscriber would have observed a ghost
broadcast under whatever prefix they asked about.
The fix: if `stripPrefix` returns `null`, FIN the bidi cleanly without
writing any Announce body. The subscriber sees an empty announce
stream and moves on.
Regression test:
`MoqLiteSessionTest.publisher_skips_announce_when_announce_please_prefix_does_not_match`.
