Kgothatso Ngako d1c817b528 chilldkg: Phase 6 - test vectors, FROST integration, docs, example
Final phase of the ChillDKG module: upstream test vectors, a
DKG->FROST integration test, boundary tests, full module
documentation and a runnable example.

Test vectors:
- tools/test_vectors_chilldkg_generate.py converts all 10 upstream
  bip-frost-dkg JSON vector files into src/modules/chilldkg/vectors.h
  (modeled on tools/test_vectors_frost_generate.py; takes the vectors
  directory as an argument; upstream pinned to commit
  a91896883f85b159415ecf298d5e844879af112d, recorded in the generated
  header with the exact regeneration invocation; regeneration is
  reproducible byte-for-byte).
- tests_impl.h vector runners execute 191 of 241 upstream cases
  through the public API: hostpubkey_gen, params_hash,
  participant_step1/step2/finalize/investigate,
  coordinator_step1/finalize/investigate, recover. Happy paths are
  byte-exact (pmsg1/cmsg1/pmsg2/cmsg2/dkg_output/recovery/cinv);
  error cases assert both the fault enum and fault_index against
  expectedError.participantId. The 50 skipped cases are
  wrong-length/wrong-count inputs not expressible with the
  fixed-size C API; each skip is documented in vectors.h.

Boundary/robustness tests: t=1, t=n, n=2, a full n=128/t=2 session
end-to-end with per-participant secshare*G == pubshare checks and a
recovery roundtrip, and a state1 memcpy roundtrip (step2 from a copied
state object).

DKG->FROST integration test (guarded by ENABLE_MODULE_FROST): a full
ChillDKG session (n=3, t=2) feeds (secshare, thresh_pk, pubshares)
directly into the frost module. ChillDKG's thresh_pk is already
TapTweak'ed, so frost_tweak_cache_init is called with no further
tweaks (frost's tweaked x-only key asserted equal to the x-only part
of the ChillDKG thresh_pk); signers 0 and 2 run nonce_gen, nonce_agg,
session_init with the shared x = id+1 convention, frost_sign,
partial_sig_verify and partial_sig_agg; the aggregate signature
verifies as a plain BIP-340 signature against the threshold key.

Example: examples/chilldkg.c runs a full 2-of-3 DKG session (host key
generation, params hash, participant/coordinator steps, finalize, and
a recovery roundtrip via participant_recover) with fixed-size buffers
and secret erasure. Wired into Makefile.am and
examples/CMakeLists.txt exactly like frost_example (runs as a TEST);
chilldkg_example binary added to .gitignore.

Docs: src/modules/chilldkg/chilldkg.md now documents the protocol
summary, message-flow table with exact byte sizes, blame taxonomy,
recovery workflow, security notes (host key reuse/retention, fresh
randomness per session, state secrecy, recovery-data sensitivity) and
the pinned reference commit; src/modules/frost/frost.md points at the
new module as the intended DKG.

Bug fix found by the vector runner (recover tcId 9): the internal
recover() passed a possibly-NULL fault_index from coordinator_recover
to certeq_verify, which dereferences it on failure; now uses a local.

Verified: make check 10/10 (3 test suites + 7 examples incl.
chilldkg_example, exit 0 when run); CMake ctest 428/428 with chilldkg
+ frost, and a no-frost build confirms the ENABLE_MODULE_FROST guard;
make distdir includes vectors.h, the example and the generator.

The module is feature-complete against bip-frost-dkg v0.3.0-dev at
a91896883f85b159415ecf298d5e844879af112d. The BIP is still a draft;
tagged hashes and wire formats may change upstream.
