Add 32 new tests covering address spoofing, signature replay (across heights, rounds, and values), cross-type replay, validator set mismatch, and quorum boundary conditions for commit, polka, and round certificates. These tests prove that Malachite is resilient to the CometBFT vulnerability (fixed in cbccfe3) where lookUpByIndex allowed signature spoofing, because Malachite always looks up validators by address and verifies against the looked-up validator's public key.
