3 people 7fcaab6495 fix(consensus-plugin paper): correct fault model to N=7 / 5-of-7 quorum / f=2 (#10) ...

The canonical paper on main claimed a five-voter quorum 'tolerating two
simultaneous failures' — physically impossible for BFT: f=2 needs N>=3f+1=7,
with a 2f+1=5 quorum. Corrects all 10 fault-model sites (abstract, two-plane
table, Topology, StatefulSet rolling-upgrade, Contributions recap, intro) to
seven voters / 5-of-7 quorum / f=2, adding the N>=3f+1 and 2f+1=5 rationale.
Rolling upgrade now correctly states maxUnavailable:1 keeps six-of-seven live,
above the five-of-seven quorum. HIP-0125 references untouched (main's number is
canonical; the stale paper-router-clean branch still said HIP-0116 and is
superseded by this in-place fix). Prose-only; inline-math $-balanced.
