Subject: [PATCH] Add `evote netdemo`: run the multi-party ceremony from the
 CLI

New subcommand runs the entire election as separate parties over the
Rust-signed transport, printing per-phase progress and the verified message
count. --verbose logs every signed envelope (from -> to : type, signature OK).
--voters/--options are validated.
