zeekayandHanzo Dev d260656efc evm: gate DEX 0x9999 genesis injection on protocol ActivationTime (preserve pre-2025 genesis)
The AlwaysOn DEX settlement precompile (0x9999) had its EXTCODESIZE marker
baked into EVERY chain's genesis state unconditionally (parent==nil in
ApplyPrecompileActivations), mutating the genesis state root. This changed the
genesis hash of every chain genesised before the DEX activation, breaking RLP
re-import of the real archived Lux mainnet (0x3f4fa2a0), Lux testnet
(0x1c5fe377) and Zoo mainnet (0x7c548af4) — all re-genesised Nov 2024, before
the Dec-2025 activation.

Fix: an AlwaysOn system precompile carries a protocol ActivationTime (Dec 2025
for 0x9999, set by the registry bridge — a fork-like constant, not per-net
config). Its genesis marker is installed ONLY IF ActivationTime <= the genesis
timestamp; otherwise it activates later, on the block transition that crosses
ActivationTime during history replay. Dispatch (GetExtrasRules) is gated on the
same timestamp so a codeless address never dispatches. A chain born before
activation reproduces its ORIGINAL genesis byte-for-byte; a fresh chain born
at/after activation still gets 0x9999 at genesis.

Verified against the real RLP block-0 of all three chains (byte-identical
reproduction) plus a fresh post-activation chain. Corrects two pre-existing
tests that had hardcoded the buggy with-0x9999 hashes as "canonical".
