feat: E2E encrypted Tor channel messages (ChaCha20-Poly1305)

Messages between federated nodes are now end-to-end encrypted:
- X25519 ECDH key agreement from existing ed25519 node identities
- HKDF-SHA256 key derivation with domain separation
- ChaCha20-Poly1305 authenticated encryption per message
- Random 12-byte nonce per message via OsRng (CSPRNG)
- Graceful fallback to plaintext if encryption fails
- Receiver auto-detects encrypted vs plaintext messages

The Tor transport was already encrypted (onion routing), this adds
application-layer E2E encryption so even a compromised receiving
backend can't read messages without the node's private key.
