feat: security hardening - sender auth, epoch/group verification, lifetime checks

Addresses critical security gaps identified in the RFC 9420 audit:

1. Epoch and group ID verification in decrypt (RFC 9420 Section 6.1):
   - PrivateMessage.epoch must match current group epoch
   - PrivateMessage.groupId must match current group ID
   - Rejects messages from wrong epoch/group immediately

2. Remove proposal sender authorization (RFC 9420 Section 12.1.2):
   - Cannot remove yourself via Remove (use SelfRemove)
   - Target leaf index must be in range and non-blank
   - Committer is implicitly authorized for inline proposals

3. KeyPackage lifetime validation (RFC 9420 Section 10.1):
   - Checks notBefore/notAfter against current time on Add proposals
   - Rejects expired or not-yet-valid KeyPackages

4. Unified proposal application in commit():
   - commit() now uses applyProposal() for all validation
   - Same authorization checks apply to both commit() and processCommit()
   - addedMembers tracked before apply for Welcome generation

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