Add two public entry points needed by the ALICE use case where shmem messages are allocated via a transport but never sent — their metadata is instead serialised into Arrow tables and delivered over a separate channel, allowing consumer devices to resolve the payload pointer without taking ownership. shmem::Message::GetMeta() returns the MetaHeader of the message, mirroring the existing positional-init pattern already used in Socket.h. shmem::GetDataAddressFromHandle(TransportFactory&, const MetaHeader&) is a free function declared in Common.h and defined in Manager.cxx. Keeping it out of the TransportFactory class body means callers only need to include Common.h (available transitively via Message.h) and do not drag in Socket.h or zmq.h. The implementation handles both managed segments and unmanaged regions, and throws SharedMemoryError with a typed message on a bad segment or region id. TransportFactory also gains a same-named member for callers that already have the concrete type. Lifetime of the returned pointer is the caller's responsibility; the cache device is expected to hold the messages alive. A SideChannel test covers the GetMeta/GetDataAddressFromHandle round-trip for both standard and expanded-metadata configurations.
