feat(quasar): implement BLS + PQ fusion signature for event horizons

Implement proper fusion signature in createHorizonSignature: - Create 64-byte signature: 32-byte BLS hash + 32-byte PQ hash - Hash checkpoint and validators into message - Apply key-derived signatures for both components - Document that full threshold signing uses Quasar.hybridConsensus Update tests to verify: - Correct signature length (64 bytes) - Deterministic output - Different inputs produce different signatures Also includes GPU batch pipeline for consensus engine.
