fix(sync): prioritize getblockchaininfo and pause chat scans while behind

The node kept falling behind the network near the tip because sync
DETECTION was starved: getblockchaininfo was queued behind the
O(mapWallet) wallet RPCs (z_gettotalbalance / z_listunspent), so
longestchain went stale, the wallet decided it was "synced", and it
resumed hammering cs_main — a feedback loop.

- Issue getblockchaininfo FIRST each cycle and skip the balance/address/
  tx refresh entirely while behind, so sync state (and kSyncProfile)
  updates before any heavy wallet scan runs.
- Gate the two chat note scans (refreshChatNoteBudgetNode /
  fastScanChatMemos) on effectivelySyncing() and the active page, so chat
  memo scanning no longer competes with block connection during sync.
- Windows debug.log tailer: reset the read offset when dragonxd truncates
  the log on startup (it was stranding at Block:0 with no witness/rescan
  progress).
- Tests cover the getblockchaininfo-first ordering and behind-skip.
