feat(node): detect an unreadable block DB on startup and offer a one-click reindex
When a daemon update changes the block-index on-disk format (or the index is
corrupt), dragonxd aborts at startup — "non-canonical optional discriminant" →
"Error loading block database. Aborted." — and the wallet silently shows a zero
balance. Previously the connect loop just crash-restarted into the same abort up
to 3x and then reported a bare "Daemon crashed N times", with no path forward.
Now:
- daemon/daemon_startup_diagnosis.h: pure blockDbOutputLooksBroken() classifies
the crashed node's captured console output (the fatal block-DB markers).
- The connect loop detects it on the FIRST abort, STOPS crash-restarting into the
same failure (each retry reloads the whole index — wasteful), and offers a fix.
- A one-shot -reindex flag (EmbeddedDaemon::setReindexOnNextStart → DaemonController
forwarder → args) rebuilds the block index + chainstate from the intact raw
blocks; App::reindexBlockDatabase() arms it and un-gates the loop to restart.
- An auto-shown dialog (renderBlockDbReindexDialog) + a notification explain the
situation ("your coins are safe; the node just can't load the chain") and offer
a one-click "Rebuild block database". Full-node only (gated), lite-safe.
This is the exact trap behind a real "big wallet shows no funds" report: a
post-format-change daemon over pre-change chaindata. Reindex also fixes a plain
corrupt index.
Adds testBlockDbOutputDiagnosis (the abort sequence + individual markers trip it;
normal startup / wallet-corruption / asmap errors do not). Suite green (1/1).
