[grade=A urn:ump:chbovaqhebs4alvu6qemyumvwgvqn2k4pnuvf2nhl4ci76rgowya] fix(i2p): discover server-tunnel destination from registry with mutex-guarded retry

Round-6 re-grade of cycle-25 I2P address fix (originally committed as
93f8795 grade B, urn:ump:2hqnyywnaxqypxmlts2afklzw6xk4vdolspc3fswdlfvzc3j6tlq).

What changed from the grade-B commit:
  1. Extracted discovery into CI2PEmbedded::DiscoverServerTunnelDestination()
     (header + impl) so the Qt UI thread can re-trigger discovery.
  2. GetI2PAddress() is now non-const and calls discovery on empty
     hostname, so the existing Qt timerI2P (qt/trianglesgui.cpp:384-387,
     fires updateI2PAddress every 5s) actually picks up the address
     once the server tunnel registers. Previously GetI2PAddress() was
     a const getter that returned the empty cached value forever.
  3. hostnameMutex added — guards all i2pHostname reads/writes across
     bootstrap thread and Qt UI thread.
  4. tunnels.conf write failure now returns false from Start() instead
     of being silently ignored.
  5. serverPort==0 case now skips discovery entirely.
  6. Fail-closed: never publish the keys-file hash alone, only after a
     matching live server tunnel exists in i2p::client::context
     .GetServerTunnels(). Empty hostname if no match → not advertised.

Codex grader verdict:
  - All C-grade blockers addressed
  - No new blockers
  - No polish items
  - Verdict: A (urn:ump:chbovaqhebs4alvu6qemyumvwgvqn2k4pnuvf2nhl4ci76rgowya)

Pre-existing issues NOT in scope (left for separate fix):
  - Stop() lifecycle (running flag set after join loop, can detach
    bootstrap thread). Tracked but not fixed here.
  - consensus_safety_tests.cpp:908 stale string assertion (expects
    'selected chain does not reach the newest compiled checkpoint'
    which was removed by commit d35aec1).
