script: fix signature cache false positives (security)

Two stacked bugs in CSignatureCache:

1. Set() keyed on vchSig (with trailing hashtype byte) while Get() keyed
   on vchSigCopy (without), so the cache never hit: a silent no-op.
   (Found in prior audit session.)

2. Once (1) was fixed, the cache produced FALSE POSITIVES: the 64-bit
   XOR-mixed key included the pubkey LENGTH but never the pubkey BYTES.
   All compressed pubkeys are 33 bytes, so a signature validated once
   hit the cache when re-checked against ANY other pubkey for the same
   sighash — CheckSig returned true without verifying. A 2-of-3
   CHECKMULTISIG could be satisfied by one valid signature duplicated.
   This also masqueraded as first-match-wins multisig reordering in
   multisig_tests/script_tests; those tests now pass with their original
   strict assertions.

Cache entries are now the full SHA256 over (sighash || sig || pubkey),
matching upstream Bitcoin Core; false positives are cryptographically
infeasible.
