fix: critical MLS security fixes for Marmot protocol (RFC 9420 compliance)

Phase 1 - Critical/High cryptographic fixes:
- Fix sender data nonce reuse: derive key/nonce from ciphertext sample per §6.3.1
- Add PrivateContentAAD binding (group_id, epoch, content_type) per §6.3.2
- Add SenderDataAAD binding per §6.3.1
- Fix KDFLabel encoding: use TLS fixed-width (putOpaque1/putOpaque4) not QUIC VarInt
- Add reuse_guard (4-byte random XOR into nonce) per §6.3.1
- Fix parent hash verification: capture sibling hashes before UpdatePath applied
- Fix Welcome confirmation tag: use HMAC instead of ExpandWithLabel
- Make confirmation tag mandatory in processCommit (was nullable)
- Fix off-by-one in path secret derivation during processCommit
- Fix TokenEncryption: extract 32-byte x-only pubkey from 33-byte compressed key
- Fix SELF_REMOVE proposal type: move from 0x0008 to 0xF001 (private-use range)

Phase 2 - Protocol compliance and thread safety:
- Validate KeyPackage ciphersuite is supported (0x0001 only)
- Synchronize KeyPackageRotationManager read operations with mutex
- Synchronize EpochCommitTracker with lock object
- Synchronize processedEventIds with lock in MarmotInboundProcessor
- Synchronize MlsGroupManager encrypt/decrypt with mutex
- Synchronize MarmotSubscriptionManager read methods
- Require unresolved proposal references to error per §12.4.2

Phase 3 - Hardening:
- Add path traversal validation in AndroidMlsGroupStateStore (hex-only groupId)
- Bind nostrGroupId as AAD in outer ChaCha20-Poly1305 encryption
- Track failed events in dedup set to prevent CPU exhaustion
- Validate nostrGroupId in processWelcome against Welcome event's own h tag
- Validate sender leaf index bounds during decryption

Phase 4 - Low priority fixes:
- Fix externalJoin: compute confirmedTranscriptHash and interimTranscriptHash
- Add snapshot methods for non-suspend filter access
