…taking quorum

uniformVerifier.IsQuorumAchievedByMask compared the full committee size
(len(mask.Publics)) against the threshold instead of counting bits actually
set in the signer bitmap. An all-zero bitmap paired with an all-zero
(identity) aggregate BLS signature therefore satisfied quorum for any
pre-staking-epoch committee, since len(mask.Publics) always exceeds the
threshold regardless of how many signers were enabled.

Count enabled bits via mask.IndexEnabled and reject a nil mask outright.

Add regression coverage: a mask-level table test for zero/below-threshold/
at-threshold/padding-bit bitmaps, and an engine-level test asserting that
verifySignature rejects an empty pre-staking quorum end-to-end.
…kleProof

IsSpent and WriteCXReceiptsProofSpent only derived the spent-marker key from
the signed block.Header (ShardID/Number) from IsCXMerkleProofReplayFixEpoch
onward. For any proof whose Header.Epoch() precedes that fork epoch, the key
fell back to CXMerkleProof.ShardID/BlockNum -- fields that ValidateCXReceiptsProof
never binds to the Header for those epochs. Since the Header (and therefore its
signature) can't be altered without invalidating VerifyHeaderSignature, but
MerkleProof.ShardID/BlockNum are otherwise unauthenticated, a genuine,
already-applied CXReceiptsProof could be resubmitted with a mutated
MerkleProof identity: each resubmission hashed to a different, "unspent"
key, letting ApplyIncomingReceipt credit the destination again with no
corresponding source debit.

Always derive the spent-marker key from the Header. This doesn't change what
ValidateCXReceiptsProof accepts, and is a no-op for honestly generated
proofs -- MerkleProof.ShardID/BlockNum are naturally populated from the same
source block as the Header, so the on-disk key is unchanged for real
historical data; only a proof with a deliberately mismatched MerkleProof
identity resolves to a different (correct) key than before.

Add TestIsSpentIgnoresMutatedMerkleProofIdentity covering the replay case.
