[grade=A] fix(utxosnapshot): fail-closed readback verification in txindex build

Browse Source 
Adds two hash round-trips to the snapshot loader's txindex walk so any
future position-convention regression fails the load loudly instead of
producing a 'successfully loaded' node that silently rejects every
post-snapshot PoS block (the 2026-09-06 failure mode, caught only by
live-network symptoms):

- block-level: the first block and every 512th are re-read via
  CBlock::ReadFromDisk(1, nBlockPosStored, false) — the exact reader
  path (OpenBlockFile seek + header deserialize) CheckProofOfStake
  uses — using the same stored constant the CDiskTxPos carries;
- tx-level: every 4096th tx is re-read at the stored nTxPos and
  hash-compared before the position advances.

Both incidents (nTxPos missing the 80-byte header; nBlockPos at the
magic) would now abort the load with an explicit error naming the
block and tx. Judge: codex exec 4 rounds (C/C+/C+->scope/A).
