M1.2 + parallel work: switch CTxDB& signatures to CTxDBBase&; snapshotnet, version bump

M1.2 (mechanical):
  Convert every CTxDB& parameter and reference across main.{h,cpp},
  wallet.{h,cpp}, and smessage.cpp to CTxDBBase&. Local instantiations
  like `CTxDB txdb("r");` are deliberately left as concrete LevelDB —
  they'll move behind a factory in M1.4 once the parity harness exists.

  CTxDB IS-A CTxDBBase, so all existing call sites continue to compile:
  a CTxDB instance binds to a CTxDBBase& parameter automatically.
  Forward declaration `class CTxDB;` in main.h replaced with
  `class CTxDBBase;`.

Parallel work (snapshotnet + version bump to 5.9.4 + checkpoints/init
/protocol/version edits) included so origin/master matches the local
working tree in one push.

NOT YET COMPILE-TESTED: pushed at the user's explicit request before
the build verification step. If CI fails, expected breakage is in
files that include main.h transitively but not txdb-base.h — fix is
to add `#include "txdb-base.h"` (or rely on the existing txdb.h which
pulls it in).
