Krystie 53f003aef1 v5.9.24: update TRI home + explorer links, networking fixes, checkpoint publisher
- qt: TRI home → https://cryptographic-triangles.org/ (UI + 65 locales)
- qt: block explorer → https://blocks.cryptographic-triangles.org (65 locales)
- net: networking hardening + checkpoint publisher support
- build: MinGW cross-compilation toolchain, CI tridock rebuild trigger
- test: checkpoint publisher + onion v3 test updates
- test: chaindb equivalence test suite (LevelDB↔RocksDB migration parity)
- util: expose ResetDataDirCache() for test fixture datadir switching
- txdb: WriteRawPublic/ReadRawPublic test seam for raw byte-level access
- version bump 5.9.23 → 5.9.24

// Signed Checkpoint Publisher (Triangles v5.9.24) — implementation.
//
// See checkpointpublisher.h for the design. This file holds:
// - The in-memory signed-checkpoint cache (a CCriticalSection-guarded
// std::map keyed by height; values are block hashes)
// - The canonical serialization used by both producer and consumer
// - The JSON parsing/building helpers (small subset, no third-party deps)
// - The trusted signers list (mirrors IsTrustedSnapshotSigner)
