refactor: extract leading zeros/flag validation from global index helpers

Address review feedback:
- Remove leading zeros assertion and mainnet flag validation from
  process_global_index_mainnet and process_global_index_rollup helpers.
  These are now done once in verify_leaf before branching.
- The helpers now take [rollup_index_le, leaf_index_le] instead of the
  full 8-element global index.
- In process_global_index_rollup, removed unnecessary byte-swap before
  asserting zero (zero is byte-order-independent). This is now moot
  since the mainnet flag is no longer checked in the helper.
- Updated MASM unit tests to match the new helper signatures.
