fix(hub): require proof of possession on node announce — closes M8

Phase 11.5.10.

POST /v1/nodes/announce accepted any pk_node with no proof the announcer held
the matching private key, so a user could register a node record carrying
someone else's node key, and records accumulated without limit.

The announcer now signs a domain-separated message binding the key to their
account — meshbay:node_announce:{user_id}:{pk_node}:{timestamp} — reusing the
shape already proven by /v1/nodes/auth, so a signature for one can never
satisfy the other. Same 60-second window.

Re-announcing the same key now updates the existing record in place instead of
creating a new row.

Three test helpers had to be taught to sign, which is the useful part: nothing
in the suite had ever exercised announce with an attacker's key. The new tests
cover the missing proof, a foreign key, a stale timestamp, and idempotence.

Note for the record: the node key is independent of the user's identity key.
Two hub tests asserted the announced pk_node equalled the user's pk_ed, which
happened to be true only because the daemon announces its keystore key. They
now assert against the announced key itself.

Tests: 157 hub+common, node suite green.
