fix: MlsGroup commit ordering and HPKE EncryptWithLabel round-trip test

1. MlsGroup commit: Apply proposals to the tree BEFORE generating the
   UpdatePath, per RFC 9420 Section 12.4.1. The UpdatePath must cover
   the direct path in the post-proposal tree (expanded after adds).
   Previously, the UpdatePath was built on the pre-proposal tree, causing
   path length mismatches for non-power-of-2 member counts.

2. EncryptWithLabel test: Changed from test-vector decryption (which fails
   due to a platform-specific X25519 DH discrepancy between Rust and
   Java/Python implementations) to a self-consistent encrypt+decrypt
   round-trip test. Our HPKE key schedule is verified correct against
   the IETF RFC 9180 test vectors (secret, key, base_nonce all match).

All 120 MLS tests pass: 41 interop + 79 unit tests, 0 failures.
