Transitive verification: vouch for verified peers over Noise

When a Noise session establishes with a peer I verified and that peer
advertises the .vouch capability, send signed attestations (up to 16,
most recently verified first, at most once per peer per 24h) for the
OTHER fingerprints I verified. Receivers accept vouches only from
senders they verified themselves, verify the Ed25519 signature against
the sender's announce-bound signing key, and surface the result as a
new derived trust tier: vouched (unfilled seal) between casual and
trusted.

Protocol:
- NoisePayloadType.vouch = 0x12 carries a batch of TLV attestations:
  voucheeFingerprint (32B), voucheeSigningKey (32B), timestamp
  (uint64 ms BE), Ed25519 signature over
  "bitchat-vouch-v1" | fingerprint | signingKey | timestamp.
  The voucher is implicit in the authenticated session.
- PeerCapabilities.localSupported now advertises .vouch.

Storage (SecureIdentityStateManager / IdentityCache):
- vouches keyed by vouchee, capped at 8 vouchers each; validity is
  recomputed on read (voucher still verified-by-me, < 30 days old), so
  unverifying a voucher retires their vouches without cascade deletes.
- New IdentityCache fields are Optional so pre-existing encrypted
  caches decode cleanly; TrustLevel.vouched is inserted mid-ladder but
  raw values are strings, so persisted values are unaffected (and
  vouched itself is never persisted).
- Panic wipe clears vouch state with the rest of the identity cache.

UI: unfilled checkmark.seal badge in the mesh peer list (filled seal
stays exclusive to verified) and a "vouched for by N people you
verified" section with voucher names in FingerprintView; VoiceOver
labels and xcstrings entries included.

Tests: attestation encode/decode + signature (forged/tampered/expired),
accept-policy gates, batch cap, trust-level derivation incl. voucher
invalidation, persistence compat, and coordinator exchange/accept
policies. Full macOS suite: 1088 tests passing.
