satoshi b786f489a1 Add ZMQ hashblock subscriber for sub-second chain refresh
New internal/zmqmon package subscribes to bitcoind's hashblock
ZMQ topic and emits TipEvents. Uses github.com/go-zeromq/zmq4
(pure Go, builds with CGO_ENABLED=0). Exponential backoff on
connection failure so bitcoind restarts don't kill the
subscriber permanently; event channel drops rather than blocks
if the consumer is slow (signals are advisory, not logs).

Aggregator.Run now takes a <-chan TipEvent; when a tip arrives
it fires an immediate refresh() outside the normal ticker
cadence. With a 5s poll interval and 0.5-1s ZMQ latency from
bitcoind, dashboards now reflect new tips roughly 4x faster.

Endpoint comes from BITCOIN_ZMQ_BLOCK — empty disables ZMQ
entirely and the aggregator just runs on the ticker alone.

// Package zmqmon subscribes to bitcoind's ZMQ `hashblock` topic and
// emits a lightweight event each time a new chain tip appears.
//
// This is strictly an "immediate refresh trigger" — it does NOT replace
// the ckpool log tailer, which still handles our own solved-block
// detection. ZMQ just shortens the latency between bitcoind seeing a
// new tip and the Kamado dashboard reflecting it (otherwise we'd wait
// up to PollInterval seconds for the next state refresh).
