It's not allowed to use WaitForSingleObject with _beginthread, because the thread closes its own handle before exiting.
So the wait function will either wait on an invalid handle, or on a different handle used by something else.
Or, if it starts waiting before the thread exits, the behavior is undefined according to MS: "If this handle is closed while the wait is still pending, the function's behavior is undefined."
In my test sync I observed threads getting stuck infinitely on WaitForSingleObject, and then rx_set_main_seedhash spamming new threads when RandomX seed changes again. Eventually the system ran out of resources, and monerod aborted with "Couldn't start RandomX seed thread" message.
This PR fixes it by using `_beginthreadex` instead and explicitly closing the handle when it's safe.
The gamma picker and the caller code did not quite agree on the
number of rct outputs available for use - by one block - which
caused an infinite loop if the picker could never pick outputs
from that block but already had picked all other outputs from
previous blocks.
Also change the range to select from using code from UkoeHB.

- Detach & re-process txs >= lowest scan height
- ensures that if a user calls scan_tx(tx1) after scanning tx2,
the wallet correctly processes tx1 and tx2
- if a user provides a tx with a height higher than the wallet's
last scanned height, the wallet will scan starting from that tx's
height
- scan_tx requires trusted daemon iff need to re-process existing
txs: in addition to querying a daemon for txids, if a user
provides a txid of a tx with height *lower* than any *already*
scanned txs in the wallet, then the wallet will also query the
daemon for all the *higher* txs as well. This is likely
unexpected behavior to a caller, and so to protect a caller from
revealing txid's to an untrusted daemon in an unexpected way,
require the daemon be trusted.
- Straight-forward call interface: `void rx_slow_hash(const char *seedhash, const void *data, size_t length, char *result_hash)`
- Consensus chain seed hash is now updated by calling `rx_set_main_seedhash` whenever a block is added/removed or a reorg happens
- `rx_slow_hash` will compute correct hash no matter if `rx_set_main_seedhash` was called or not (the only difference is performance)
- New environment variable `MONERO_RANDOMX_FULL_MEM` to force use the full dataset for PoW verification (faster block verification)
- When dataset is used for PoW verification, dataset updates don't stall other threads (verification is done in light mode then)
- When mining is running, PoW checks now also use dataset for faster verification
Unrelated, but similar code-wise to #8643. There is a check in `DNSResolver` which automatically fails to resolve hostnames which do not contain the `.` character. This PR removes that check.
Fixes#8633. The function `append_net_address` did not parse hostname + port addresses (e.g. `bar:29080`) correctly if the hostname did not contain a `'.'` character.

clear up 2nd conditional statement
update_checkpoints() makes a few DNS requests and can take up to 20-30 seconds to complete (3-6 seconds on average). It is currently called from core::handle_incoming_block() which holds m_incoming_tx_lock, so it blocks all incoming transactions and blocks processing while update_checkpoints() is running. This PR moves it to until after a new block has been processed and relayed, to avoid full monerod locking.

Being offline is not a good enough heuristic, so we keep track
of whether the wallet ever refreshed from a daemon, which is a
lot better, and probably the best we can do without manual user
designation (which would break existing cold wallet setups till
the user designates those wallets)
- spend secret key is no longer the sum of multisig key shares;
no need to check that is the case upon restore.
- restoring a multisig wallet from multisig info means that the
wallet must have already completed all setup rounds. Upon restore,
set the number of rounds completed accordingly.
Before the fix, it processed all transactions in the mempool which could be very slow when mempool grows to several MBs in size. I observed `get_block_template_backlog` taking up to 15 seconds of CPU time under high mempool load.
After the fix, only transactions that can potentially be mined in the next block will be processed (a bit more than the current block median weight).
