Opening an existing lite wallet ran synchronously on the UI thread and used a
single server, so a dead/unreachable lightwalletd server froze startup for the
connect timeout and then stranded the wallet ("disconnected" spinner) — and the
DragonX lite servers are flaky (often several down at once).
Add LiteWalletController::beginOpenExisting() / pumpAsyncOpen(): the open runs on
a background thread (mirroring the sync/broadcast shared-lifetime pattern — it
captures only shared_ptrs + value copies, never `this`), trying the preferred
server first and then every other usable default until one succeeds. The main
thread finalizes the result (flips walletOpen, starts sync) or records the reason.
The rollout gate is still checked up-front on the main thread.
App: auto-open now calls beginOpenExisting() and pumps it each tick, retrying on
a 20s interval so a transient outage self-heals once a server returns; a failed
open surfaces its reason (notification + Network tab) instead of a silent spinner.
Tested: a fake bridge that fails specific servers exercises both
preferred-dead -> fallback-opens and all-dead -> fails-with-reason. Built clean
for full-node, lite, and Windows cross-compile.
