Add gloas parent-envelope-unknown lookup tests

Wires the lookup test rig for Gloas:
- Capture per-block execution payload envelopes from the external harness
  and serve them to peers via a new `network_envelopes_by_root` map.
- Handle `RequestType::PayloadEnvelopesByRoot` in `simulate_on_request` and
  `Work::RpcPayloadEnvelope` in the simulator processor branch.
- Allow `TestRig` callers to override the genesis validator count and
  bump initial balances to `max_effective_balance_electra` post-Electra,
  which Gloas committee-selection requires for genesis init to converge.

Adds four tests for the parent-envelope-unknown flow (each verified
red/green by stubbing the corresponding source path):

- `creates_envelope_and_child_lookups` — `UnknownParentEnvelope` produces
  exactly one envelope-only lookup for the parent root and one child
  lookup awaiting that envelope.
- `idempotent_triggers` — repeated triggers for the same parent merge
  into the existing envelope lookup; no duplicate lookups are created.
- `issues_payload_envelopes_by_root_rpc` — the envelope-only lookup
  dispatches a `PayloadEnvelopesByRoot` RPC for the parent block_root.
- `drops_cascade_on_rpc_error` — when the envelope RPC errors, the
  envelope lookup is dropped and the awaiting child cascades with it.

The end-to-end happy path (envelope arrives → child unblocks → block
imports → head advances) is gated on
`process_execution_payload_envelope` supporting `AvailabilityPending`,
which today returns `InternalError("Pending payload envelope not yet
implemented")`. That gap is independent of this PR's lookup machinery.
