Make merkle proofs optional on multisig ISM (#2173 )

### Description

Validators currently sign `(root, index)` checkpoints and during
verification, a `message` is passed as calldata, an `id()` is derived,
and a `proof` of `id()` at `index` in `root` is verified

This provides “all or nothing” censorship resistance guarantees because
a validator can only sign roots to allow any contained messages to be
processed.

We have considered alternatives where validators sign `message` directly
and we lose censorship resistance in exchange for eliminating merkle
proof verification gas costs.

However, if validators sign `(root, index, message)` tuples, we can skip
merkle proof verification on the destination chain while still
maintaining censorship resistance by providing two valid metadata
formats:

1. existing validator signatures and merkle proof verification of
inclusion
2. including merkle proof verification for pathway where validators are
censoring `message`

It’s worth noting the validator is required to index event data to
produce this new signature format. However, this does not require
historical indexing and new validators being spun up can simply begin
indexing from tip.

See https://github.com/hyperlane-xyz/hyperlane-monorepo/pull/2187 for
validator changes
See https://github.com/hyperlane-xyz/hyperlane-monorepo/pull/2248 for
relayer and e2e test changes

### Drive-by changes

Merkle index also optional

### Related issues

- Fixes https://github.com/hyperlane-xyz/hyperlane-monorepo/issues/2192

### Backward compatibility

- new ISM deployment is necessary (we could upgrade implementation in
theory)
- Validator and relayer upgrades

### Testing

Unit (fuzz) Tests, E2E tests
