fix: align Bad MAC retry receipt with WA Desktop behavior

Three issues corrected in sendRetryRequest (receiver side):

1. BUG — error code hardcoded as '0' (UnknownError) in retry receipt.
   The peer (especially another InfiniteAPI instance) could not detect
   the failure type and would fall back to the 1-hour session recreation
   timeout instead of recreating immediately.
   Fix: derive error code from the actual libsignal decryption error
   message stored in messageStubParameters[0].

2. BUG — shouldRecreateSession block was reading the wrong node: it
   called getBinaryNodeChild(node, 'retry') on the incoming bad-MAC
   message, which never has a <retry> child. errorCode was always
   undefined, so MAC_ERROR_CODES never matched — the logic was dead.

3. BUG (consequence of #2) — when shouldRecreateSession accidentally
   did fire (no-session or 1-hour timeout), it deleted the receiver's
   session BEFORE the sender's pkmsg arrived. This opened a race window
   where concurrent messages would fail with "No Session".
   Fix: remove the entire session-deletion block from sendRetryRequest.
   The Signal Protocol pkmsg automatically overwrites the corrupted
   session — no explicit delete needed on the receiver side.

WA Desktop reference (CDP capture 2026-03-19):
- Retry receipt sent ~99ms after Bad MAC with specific error code
- pkmsg arrives ~304ms later, new session established automatically
- Old session is never deleted; pkmsg overwrites it implicitly
- Full recovery in ~1.3s without any race window
