Fix CI failures: restore stake() test util, fix V2 storage layout,

update Dockerfile to Node 18, fix deploy data paths, fix Allowlist tests

- operators.ts: Restore TokenStaking.stake() and increaseAuthorization()
  calls that were incorrectly replaced with a throw. These methods are
  still needed by the test harness for setting up operator fixtures.

- WalletRegistryV2.sol: Add missing `allowlist` storage slot and import
  to match WalletRegistry V1 layout. Without this, OZ upgrade validation
  rejects the V2 contract as storage-incompatible.

- Dockerfile: Bump base image from node:16-alpine to node:18-alpine.
  Transitive dependency cbor@10.0.3 requires Node >= 18, matching the
  project's .nvmrc (lts/hydrogen) and CI workflow (18.15.0).

- 16_initialize_allowlist_weights.ts: Update JSON data file paths from
  deploy/data/ to ../deploy-data/ to match the relocated files.

- Allowlist.test.ts: Deploy Allowlist through upgrades.deployProxy()
  since the contract uses _disableInitializers() in its constructor,
  preventing direct deployment + initialize() calls.
