MINT: default personality now loads common:messaging.4th (fixes MSG-TICK error-spam)

Browse Source 
capsule_mint_identity()'s MINT_DEFAULT_PERSONALITY only ever defined
WELCOME, unlike capsule_console.c's own CONSOLE_IDENTITY_SRC. The moment
WIREBIND made a freshly-minted identity's VM live, Hera's per-idle-tick
MSG-TICK pump (repl.c Phase C) began erroring on it every tick forever --
UNKNOWN WORD: 'MSG-TICK'. Every identity minted before this fix would hit
the same infinite error-spam on going live, not just this one.

Fixed by loading common:messaging.4th + calling MSG-CD-INIT before
WELCOME, mirroring capsule_console.c's own pattern exactly.

Found and verified minting the first real second identity end to end:
disk/captain-bob.img, hot-attached via QMP alongside an already-
authenticated Zuse session, MINTed, WIREBIND-attached, switched into
live with USE, WELCOME confirmed. Zero MSG-TICK errors over 18+ seconds
of idle-loop cycling after the fix (was immediate and continuous before).
Full three-architecture regression clean.
