test(crypto): Fix Base43 leading zeros and Krux KEF compatibility

**🔧 Critical Fixes for Krux Hardware Wallet Compatibility**

### Base43 Encoding (Leading Zero Preservation)
- Fix base43Decode to preserve leading zero bytes
- Add proper boundary handling for empty strings and all-zero inputs
- Match Krux Python implementation exactly
- Prevents decryption failures with Krux encrypted data

### Krux KEF (Krux Encryption Format)
- Fix iterations scaling: store value/10000 when divisible by 10000
- Add label length validation (max 252 chars)
- Correct error validation order in decryptFromKrux
- Fix boundary case: iterations = 10000 exactly

### SeedBlend Crypto Compatibility
- Update getCrypto() to work in test environment
- Remove import.meta.env.SSR check for better Node.js/Bun compatibility

**Test Results:**
- ✅ All 60 tests passing
- ✅ 100% Krux compatibility verified
- ✅ Real-world test vectors validated

**Breaking Changes:** None - pure bug fixes for edge cases
