feat: add IETF RFC 9420 MLS interop test vectors and test suite

Import the canonical IETF MLS test vectors from mlswg/mls-implementations to verify wire-format compatibility with OpenMLS and mls-rs. These are the same test vectors used by both Rust implementations for cross- implementation interop validation. Phase 1 (Foundations): - crypto-basics.json: RefHash, ExpandWithLabel, DeriveSecret, DeriveTreeSecret, SignWithLabel, EncryptWithLabel - tree-math.json: Binary tree arithmetic for all tree sizes - key-schedule.json: Full 12-secret epoch key derivation chain - secret-tree.json: Per-sender handshake/application ratchet keys Phase 2 (Wire Format): - messages.json: Round-trip serialization of all MLS message types - message-protection.json: PublicMessage/PrivateMessage framing - transcript-hashes.json: Confirmed/interim transcript hash computation Phase 3 (TreeKEM): - treekem.json: UpdatePath processing, path secret derivation - tree-validation.json: Tree hash and resolution verification - tree-operations.json: Add/remove/update proposal application - welcome.json: Welcome message deserialization Phase 4 (End-to-End Protocol): - passive-client-welcome.json: Join via Welcome, follow epochs - passive-client-handling-commit.json: Process varied commit types - passive-client-random.json: Randomized multi-epoch scenarios Initial test results reveal ExpandWithLabel encoding discrepancy in HkdfLabel context field that cascades to most crypto operations. Tree math tests pass fully. These findings demonstrate the value of importing standard interop vectors. https://claude.ai/code/session_01NocQDWj2Y92FugjfgazzL3
