Description
Enables Connect users on Windows and macOS. `-dev-connect` flag should work for these systems as well even if they're functionally equivalent to `-dev`.
Native Connect (#6083) apps don't need a netns to securely use Connect.

Research direction
Start by tracing the -dev-connect flag and how it differs from -dev on Windows and macOS. Check the Connect and Native Connect paths for assumptions about network namespaces; done means -dev-connect works on both systems, including host-network cases, without weakening security for Native Connect apps.
