feat(core): sign rotation index into Evolu sign registration

This enables the Quota Manager to distinguish the indices and store the current index.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit updates the Trezor firmware's Evolu (delegated identity) registration signing feature so that the device now includes a 'rotation index' in the signed registration request. The rotation index tells the Quota Manager which version of the device's delegated identity key was used. The signature format was also bumped from V1 to V2 by adding the rotation index into the signed data. This is a feature enhancement, not a fix for an obvious security vulnerability, but it touches cryptographic signing and identity-key rotation, which are security-sensitive areas.

Recommended action

Review the V2 signing scheme for replay or downgrade risks: ensure the Quota Manager rejects V1 signatures and validates the rotation_index against the current or expected key rotation. Verify that the rotation index cannot be manipulated before signing and that key rotation boundaries are enforced. No urgent patch is indicated by the diff alone, but treat as a security-relevant protocol change.
