Add support for MASQUE protocol for Cloudflare WARP integration #5495

@big-amin

Description

@big-amin

Hello Xray Core team,

Cloudflare has been actively developing and deploying the MASQUE protocol (HTTP/3-based proxying over QUIC), which is now used internally by Cloudflare WARP as a modern replacement or complement to traditional tunneling approaches.

Currently, Xray Core does not provide native support for MASQUE, which limits the ability to integrate or experiment with WARP-based connectivity in environments where QUIC and HTTP/3 are preferred or required.

Adding MASQUE support could offer several benefits:

Improved compatibility with Cloudflare WARP infrastructure

Better performance and stability over QUIC-based networks

Increased resistance to traffic analysis and DPI in restrictive environments

Alignment with emerging IETF standards (MASQUE, CONNECT-UDP, CONNECT-IP)

This feature could be implemented either as:

A new outbound protocol, or

An extension to existing QUIC / HTTP3 transport layers

Thank you for your continued work on Xray Core and for considering this enhancement.
