The wallet was freezing on "Verifying database integrity" because the
old Tor v2 startup code blocked on a mutex (wait_initialized) and
required an onion/hostname file that no longer existed after v2 removal.
Replace the blocking v2 startup with internal V3 onion identity:
- Every wallet now auto-generates Ed25519 keys and a V3 .onion address
- Keys are stored in wallet.dat (encrypted if wallet is encrypted)
- Onion identity is created after wallet loads (Step 8.5) so keys
persist across restarts
- No external Tor process required for identity generation
- Writes onion/hostname and tor_data/ config for optional external Tor

Startup optimization (fixes multi-minute hang on 2M+ block chain):
- Skip computing SHA-256 stake modifier checksum for blocks below last
checkpoint (was doing 2M+ unnecessary hashes on every startup)
- Reduce default -checkblocks from 2500 to 50 (disk read savings)
- Add progress percentage reporting during block index load
Headers-first sync (faster initial sync):
- Switch initial sync from getblocks to getheaders protocol
- Add PushGetHeaders and headers message handler in net/main
- Downloads 80-byte headers first, then requests blocks — allows
the node to learn chain structure before downloading full blocks
Address-index accelerated wallet rescan:
- New ScanForWalletTransactionsFromIndex() uses address index to find
only transactions touching wallet keys (skips scanning every block)
- Follows spend chains to find related transactions
- Falls back to full scan if index unavailable
- Track index sync state with addressIndexBestChain/StartHeight in LevelDB

- Defer SecureMsgStart and ReacceptWalletTransactions to background thread
so GUI appears faster during startup
- Add shutdown checks in wallet scan/reaccept to prevent hanging on exit
- Smart wallet rescan: start from wallet birthday instead of genesis block
- Raise default dbcache from 25 to 128 MB for better performance
- Replace deprecated QDesktopServices with QStandardPaths (Qt5 compat)
- Enforce Qt5+ requirement in build system, remove -fpermissive flag

Port codebase to build with OpenSSL 3.x and Boost 1.90+:
- Rewrite bignum.h to use BIGNUM* pointer instead of inheriting from opaque BIGNUM
- Fix ECDSA_SIG, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, HMAC_CTX opaque type access across key.cpp, crypter.cpp, smessage.cpp
- Modernize Boost.Asio API (io_context, resolver, executor) in trianglesrpc.cpp
- Remove embedded Tor v2 client (incompatible with OpenSSL 3.x), keep Tor v3 SOCKS5 approach
- Update header logo to Cryptographic Triangles branding (300x63)
- Replace Bittrex exchange link with Pinball (313.cash) across all locales
- Fix MSYS2/MinGW64 build: linker flags, Boost library names, miniupnpc static linking
