Adds a new feathers-utils/channels entry point with four helpers for writing an app.publish publisher that composes with another one.

What

export	purpose
`toChannelLeaves`	normalize the four shapes a publisher may return into a flat list of leaf channels
`filterChannelLeaves`	narrow that list without destroying the payload a channel carries for its connections
`collapseChannels`	turn the list back into something Feathers dispatches correctly
`chainChannels`	compose several publishers into one

import { chainChannels } from 'feathers-utils/channels'

Why its own entry point

The helpers need @feathersjs/transport-commons, which only an app with a realtime transport has installed. It is added as an optional peer dependency, and channels is deliberately absent from the root barrel so it cannot be pulled into a bundle that has no transport.

Also in here

@feathersjs/* bumped to ^5.0.50, plus socket.io-client as a dev dependency for the socket test harness
*.fixture.ts excluded from the published files
docs: channels category, sidebar entries, <ChannelsTable /> and a docs/channels/ section
test/index.test.ts asserts the new export surface

Test plan

pnpm test — lint + typecheck + coverage, 139 files / 1513 tests pass

Add `feathers-utils/channels` with four helpers for composing `app.publish`
publishers:

- `toChannelLeaves` - normalize the four shapes a publisher may return into a
  flat list of leaf channels
- `filterChannelLeaves` - narrow that list without destroying the payload a
  channel carries for its connections
- `collapseChannels` - turn the list back into something Feathers dispatches
  correctly
- `chainChannels` - compose several publishers into one

They ship in their own entry point because they need
`@feathersjs/transport-commons`, added as an optional peer dependency, which
only an app with a realtime transport has installed. For that reason `channels`
is deliberately absent from the root barrel.

Also bumps the `@feathersjs/*` packages to ^5.0.50 and excludes `*.fixture.ts`
from the published files.
