fix(rewards-program): use Anchor-compatible 8-byte event discriminators#37

Replace single-byte event discriminators with 8-byte constants derived
from sha256("event:StructName")[..8], matching Anchor's convention.
This is a breaking change to the event wire format. Event data now
starts at byte 16 (8-byte EVENT_IX_TAG + 8-byte discriminator) instead
of byte 9 (8-byte EVENT_IX_TAG + 1-byte discriminator).
Previously, standard Anchor event parsers couldn't decode these events
because they expected 8-byte discriminators.
Replace hardcoded 8-byte discriminator arrays in each event struct
with calls to a new const fn event_discriminator(name) that computes
sha256("event:" + name)[..8] at compile time via const-crypto's
re-exported sha2-const-stable.
Adding a new event now just requires:
const DISCRIMINATOR: [u8; 8] = event_discriminator(b"FooEvent");
instead of manually computing sha256 offline and pasting the bytes.
Fixes OptInEvent/OptOutEvent discriminators to match their actual
struct names (were previously derived from the old enum variant
names OptedIn/OptedOut).

Add the OtterSec security assessment (2026-04-24) covering the rewards program at commit d795849. All 8 findings were resolved in PRs #32-#37 and marked as such in the report. Track the audited-through commit and unaudited delta in audits/AUDIT_STATUS.md. Drop the "not audited" notice from the README and add a Security Audit section linking the report.
