fix(tls,quic): expose libp2p host pubkey as remotePubKey, not the ephemeral cert subject key

Before this change, `SecureChannel.Session.remotePubKey` returned by the TLS
and QUIC transports was the ephemeral X.509 cert subject key (created per
handshake), not the libp2p host public key embedded in the libp2p cert
extension (OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.53594.1.1). This broke the invariant
`PeerId.fromPubKey(remotePubKey) == remoteId` that SecIO, Noise, and
Plaintext uphold and that downstream consumers rely on (e.g. signed-record
verification).

Changes:

* TLSSecureChannel.kt: introduce `TlsPeerIdentity(peerId, pubKey)` and
  `verifyAndExtractIdentity(chain)` which derives both fields from the same
  libp2p host key unmarshalled out of the cert extension. The legacy
  `verifyAndExtractPeerId` now delegates so existing call sites
  (CertificatesTest, Libp2pTrustManager) continue to work unchanged. The
  session-construction site in `buildTlsHandler` is updated to use the new
  helper, so `remotePubKey` is now the libp2p key, not the ephemeral
  subject key.

* QuicTransport.kt (server inbound): replace the separate
  `verifyAndExtractPeerId` + `getPublicKeyFromCert` pair with a single
  `verifyAndExtractIdentity` call. Both `remoteId` and `remotePubKey`
  now come from the same libp2p host key.

* QuicTransport.kt (client dial): delete the `Multihash.Digest.Identity`
  special case entirely. The libp2p cert extension is the single source of
  truth for the remote libp2p public key regardless of how the peer id is
  encoded in the multiaddr (identity-digest vs sha-256). Add a sanity
  check that the libp2p key extracted from the cert hashes to the
  dial-target peer id — defence-in-depth on top of `Libp2pTrustManager`.
  Remove now-unused imports (`Multihash`, `unmarshalPublicKey`,
  `getPublicKeyFromCert`).

Tests:

* TlsSecureChannelTest now extends `CipherSecureChannelTest` (matching
  the SecIO/Noise pattern), which contributes `verify secure session`
  asserting `remotePubKey == pubKey<remote>` on both sides. The shared
  malformed-cipher-bytes test is marked `open` in the base and overridden
  with `@Disabled` for TLS because OpenSSL surfaces those errors through
  a different path that is out of scope here.

* New `QuicRemotePubKeyIdentityTest` exercises a real QUIC handshake
  between two hosts and asserts
  `PeerId.fromPubKey(secureSession.remotePubKey) == secureSession.remoteId`
  on both the client and server connection.
