sync: signed peer discovery — re-fire getaddr/getseederlist when peer count drops

Browse Source 
Triangles already has a node-identity signing system (getwalletaddr/walletaddr
in onion_v3.cpp:4793-4848) that lets peers cryptographically prove they own
their .onion address. The problem: that handshake only fires at startup, so
a long-running sync daemon that takes 12+ hours to bootstrap gets exactly ONE
discovery round at minute 0 — and then never asks again.

This commit wires the existing signing + discovery machinery into the main
peer-connection loop, not just startup:

  * src/net.h: add nLastGetaddrTrigger + nSignedPeerBonus fields to CNode
  * src/net.cpp: in ThreadOpenConnections2, when connected onion peers < 4
    AND 5min cooldown elapsed, re-fire getaddr + getseederlist on every
    connected .onion peer. getwalletaddr is left alone (it generates a new
    receiving key per call; signed peers are cached 24h anyway).
  * src/tor/onion_v3.cpp: when HandleWalletAddrResponse verifies a peer's
    signature, set nSignedPeerBonus=1 so sync peer selection prefers them.
  * src/syncmanager.cpp: signed-peer bonus used as tiebreaker in peer sort
    (after reliability score, before blocks-delivered).

Why this matters: real-world from-zero sync of the Triangles chain took
~18 hours because only 2-3 of the 14 seed .onion nodes were reliably
reachable from any given Tor instance. With periodic re-discovery, the
daemon now has a chance to find the 12 others when the 2-3 drop.

Verified: built clean (15:59), test daemon climbed from 70,828 → 73,997+
at ~1.9 blk/s with new binary, SYNC-SIGN message confirmed firing.
