refactor: remove the unused GroupIndex.serialize chain
serialize/deserialize had no production caller, and took with them the per-chunk signature, the ChaCha20 cipher variant and the zstandard dependency. Key derivations are unchanged. Docs corrected, including design §4.3's claim that chunks are compressed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

+That envelope, and `GroupIndex.serialize()`/`deserialize()` which produced it, are

Since MNP 1.0 both messages carry their payload **sealed under a GEK-derived subkey**
(`meshbay_common.groupbox`). Only the routing fields — `type`, `v`, `group_id` — stay
