Bart 2ab143cb9c fix: Clamp the depth used to index selectBranch's key byte
`selectBranch` reads the key byte at `depth / 2`, which is out of bounds for a
32-byte key once the depth reaches 64. Every branch selection in the map
funnels through here, so this is the one place a stray depth can turn into a
bad read. Assert the precondition for callers, then clamp anyway: a wrong
answer for an input that should never occur is better than reading past the
buffer. Verified under ASan that the unclamped form reads one byte past a
32-byte allocation while the clamped form does not.

`depthMask`'s own 65-entry table had the same exposure one level up, reachable
through the public `createID` factory rather than only from inside the map. A
depth past `kLeafDepth` indexed that table out of bounds, confirmed under ASan
as a 4-byte `global-buffer-overflow` immediately after `kMasks`. Both places
that can set a depth now clamp it: the constructor, which is the single point
every `SHAMapNodeID`'s `depth_` passes through, and `createID`, which needs its
own bound because it picks the mask while evaluating the constructor's
argument, before the constructor body could correct anything.

Clamping rather than throwing, which is what `getChildNodeID` does for the
analogous case: `createID` is reached from `getSHAMapNodeID` with a
peer-supplied depth, and two of that function's three callers
(`InboundTransactions::gotData`, `PeerImp::onMessage`) sit on paths with no
handler between them and a thread boundary, so a throw there would end the
process rather than the message. Clamping also has to fix up `id_` alongside
`depth_`, since a node ID whose id and depth disagree fails the invariant every
read of `id_` relies on. Leaving the depth unclamped would additionally let
`getRawString` narrow it to a byte, turning depth 256 into a node claiming to
be the root.

`deserializeSHAMapNodeID` gets the same mask check `isPrefixOf` already
performs, pulled into a shared `isPrefixOfAtDepth` helper, and the masking both
it and `createID` perform is now a named `maskedToDepth` rather than a repeated
bitwise-and.

Tests cover the depth-sensitivity of `isPrefixOf`, the guards that must hold
with asserts stripped, that `deserializeSHAMapNodeID` rejects an out-of-range
depth, and the clamp itself under both build configurations (`EXPECT_DEATH`
in a forked process when the assert is live, and the clamped result compared
against depth 63 when it is not). The clamp test also gates on
`ENABLE_VOIDSTAR`, not just `NDEBUG`: under Antithesis instrumentation
`XRPL_ASSERT` routes to a handler that records the hit but never aborts, so a
Debug build with voidstar enabled has `NDEBUG` undefined yet still hits the
same non-fatal assert as a release build, and without this gate would send
that configuration into the `EXPECT_DEATH` arm, where the forked child never
dies and the test fails, breaking the CI job that runs this suite under
`-Dvoidstar=ON`.
