perf: verify Nostr inbound signatures once, off the main actor (#1352)

Moves inbound Nostr Schnorr verification and NIP-17 gift-wrap decryption off the main actor into per-relay bounded AsyncStream pipelines (parallel across relays, ordered per relay), dedups before crypto, and removes the redundant second re-verify in NostrInboundPipeline/GeoPresenceTracker. Adds a panic-wipe generation counter so in-flight decrypts are discarded after a wipe.

Rebased onto main; #1451's 256 KiB pre-parse byte cap and tag limits are preserved and still enforced before any crypto/allocation.
