jackandClaude Opus 4.5 f41a390a94 BCH-01-010: Noise Protocol spec compliance improvements
This addresses the Cure53 audit finding BCH-01-010 which identified several
implementation deviations from the Noise Protocol Framework specification.

Changes:
- Expand nonce from 4-byte to 8-byte transmission per spec guidance
  This provides 2^64 nonce space instead of the limited 2^32 space
- Fix integer overflow in replay window check using safe arithmetic
- Add constant-time comparison functions for key validation to prevent
  timing side-channel attacks
- Add clearSensitiveData() method to NoiseSymmetricState that clears
  chaining key and hash after split() operation
- Document atomic nonce state updates in decryption

Security improvements:
- Constant-time operations prevent information leakage via timing analysis
- Proper cleanup of symmetric state after handshake completion
- Safer arithmetic prevents potential integer overflow issues
