feat: complete security verification - Update sig, extensions, parent hash, replay detection

Closes all remaining security gaps from the RFC 9420 audit:

1. Update proposal signature verification (RFC 9420 Section 12.1.2):
   - Verifies LeafNode signature in Update proposals via verifyLeafNodeSignature()
   - Ensures sender can only update their own leaf with properly signed data

2. GroupContextExtensions validation (RFC 9420 Section 12.1.7):
   - Validates extension types against KNOWN_EXTENSION_TYPES whitelist
   - Supports ratchet_tree (0x0001), required_capabilities (0x0002),
     external_pub (0x0003), external_senders (0x0004), Marmot (0xF2EE)
   - Rejects unknown extension types

3. Parent hash validation (RFC 9420 Section 7.9.2):
   - Full per-node ParentHashInput computation:
     encryption_key || parent_hash || original_sibling_tree_hash
   - Walks the entire direct path verifying hash chain
   - Exposed treeHashNode as internal for sibling hash computation
   - Returns false (rejects) on any chain break

4. Message replay detection (RFC 9420 Section 9.1):
   - Added consumedGenerations tracker (Map<sender, Set<generation>>)
   - applicationKeyNonceForGeneration rejects already-consumed generations
   - Prevents replaying messages within the same epoch

5. Welcome ciphersuite verification (RFC 9420 Section 12.4.3.1):
   - Verifies Welcome.cipherSuite matches KeyPackage.cipherSuite
   - Rejects mismatched ciphersuites before attempting decryption

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