fix cluster stubs: deterministic fallback, payload forwarding, and handler guards

- Replace non-deterministic map range fallback with sorted node selection in PlaceActor and RebalanceShards
- Add Body field to MessagePayload to preserve message data during cross-node routing
- Forward actual message body in route_message handler instead of discarding it
- Add self-message guard to route_message handler to prevent loops
- Add nil guard for shardMap in handleRebalanceRequest
- Add self-message guard to handleRebalanceRequest in DistributedVM
