Fix producer rotation issues at block boundaries

- Fixed emergency producer height check (was checking microblock_height instead of next_block_height)
- Filter offline nodes from Genesis candidate list to prevent selecting unavailable producers
- Reduced rotation timeout from 30s to 10s for faster failover
- Maintain deterministic consensus while excluding inactive nodes
- Ensure Byzantine fault tolerance with proper active node detection

This fixes the network stall issue at block #30 where offline genesis_node_004 was being selected as producer
