Adds an opt-in rendezvous mode without filters. With --serve-all the bootnode skips EL/CL classification and fork-ID/digest filtering entirely: every discovered node is pooled into every enabled table (regardless of eth/eth2 fields) and served to every requester. Turns bootnodoor into a plain discv5 rendezvous, like a stock geth bootnode. Default off; classification + fork filtering unchanged.

This might feel counterintuitive, but the filtering is not required by the protocol, and that part of the code can actually lead to various issues (see e.g. #41). Being able to turn it off helps diagnosis.
