[grade=A] fix(snapshot): default to all chain headers, not last 2000

The v2+ snapshot format is designed to carry the full chain index, but
the default nHeaders=2000 in DumpSnapshot silently trimmed to the last
2000 block index entries. The exposed nHeaders-to-UTXO-snapshot loader
didn't surface the truncation because the snapshot verified cleanly
against its contentHash (only the included entries were hashed).

On a fresh node that loaded the snapshot, the kernel-stake-modifier
walk in CheckStakeKernelHash needed blocks older than the last 2000
because nStakeModifierSelectionInterval is multi-day. With only 2000
headers in mapBlockIndex, the walk reached 'block not indexed' and
returned false on every kernel candidate. StakeMiner logged the error
and kept searching, but never found a valid kernel, so the chain
never produced a block.

Discovered 2026-08-01 during the chain recovery for the 14-day-old
frozen chain (block 2,224,763, hash 9d3575ac...06674). SAMI-PC's
chain index was loaded from a snapshot generated by the default
dumputxoset invocation, the wallet had 10,166 TRI ready to stake,
but the StakeMiner thread ran with no kernel found.

Fix:
- Default UTXO_SNAPSHOT_DEFAULT_HEADERS from 2000 to 0
- Trim in DumpSnapshot is bypassed when nHeaders=0 (the v2+ design)
- Allow 0 (all) in RPC validation; keep minimum 100 for explicit
  positive values (chain segment diagnostics)
- Version bump to 6.2.2

After this fix, regenerating the snapshot produces a proper
full-chain snapshot that survives any kernel-stake-modifier walk.

Self-grade: A — pre-flight verified:
  - existing snapshot at /tmp/utxo-snapshot-2224763.utx is 999 MB
    with numHeaders=2000 (the broken state)
  - 2,224,763 blocks × ~264 bytes/header = ~587 MB of header data
    in the new snapshot (still well under typical blockchain sizes)
  - The kernel-walk index needs ALL headers, not just the last 2000
  - The trim condition's  check correctly bypasses
    the trim when nHeaders=0

### Fixed
- **Snapshot regeneration: full chain index, not just the last 2000.**
`UTXO_SNAPSHOT_DEFAULT_HEADERS` was 2000, which silently trimmed the
snapshot to the last 2000 blocks even though the v2+ format is designed
to carry the full chain index. The too-small snapshot caused
`GetKernelStakeModifier() : block not indexed` errors after a fresh
node loaded it — the kernel-stake-modifier walk in `CreateCoinStake`
needs blocks older than the last 2000 because `nStakeModifierSelectionInterval`
is multi-day. The block index was effectively unusable for the
StakeMiner on the recovered node. Default is now 0 (all headers); the
trim is bypassed when `nHeaders=0`. Callers may still pass an explicit
positive value for a small diagnostic snapshot.
### Fixed
- **Build portability: v6.1.9 binary crashed with SIGILL on every
