Skip signature event building during Cosmos CheckTx/ReCheckTx

[amir-deris]

Summary

• During CheckTx and ReCheckTx, CheckSignatures was unconditionally building signature events (account sequence formatting, SignatureDataToBz, base64 encoding) even though CosmosCheckTxAnte discards them with _.
• Added a skipSigEvents guard so this work is skipped when ctx.IsCheckTx() || ctx.IsReCheckTx() — reducing allocations and CPU on the highest-frequency ante path.
• CosmosDeliverTxAnte is unaffected: its context always has both flags false, so events are still built and emitted normally.

Result

In branch amir/PLT-218-analyze-app-performance, running 4 node cluster and doing sei-chain/loadtest for Cosmos Bank and Staking transaction types, and taking pprof CPU profiles at specific heights, we observe about 15% less CPU usage in CosmosCheckTxAnte.
