Bump compliance tests for alpha 8 spec

CachedPTCs::try_from_state now returns Result<Option<Self>, _> and
internalises the boundary rule (pre-Gloas state, Gloas shuffling epoch
=> Ok(None)). Callers (block import priming, state advance timer,
with_cached_shuffling miss path) just skip insertion on None instead
of duplicating the guard. The unit test exercises the three boundary
cases against a pre-Gloas state.
