Scale Bitcoin-era constants (calibrated for 10-minute blocks) to their wall-clock equivalents for Avian's 30-second block time (x20 factor): - policy/fees.h: rescale fee estimator decay half-lives and history window (SHORT_DECAY, MED_DECAY, LONG_DECAY, OLDEST_ESTIMATE_HISTORY) - wallet/wallet.cpp: wallet flush period 144 -> 2880 blocks (~1 day) - chain.h: MAX_BLOCK_TIME_GAP 5400s -> 270s (9 blocks at 30s each) - qt/bitcoingui.cpp: clarifying comment on MAX_BLOCK_TIME_GAP - net_processing.cpp: NODE_NETWORK_LIMITED thresholds 288/144 -> 5760/2880 blocks (~2 days / ~1 day); safe since NODE_NETWORK_LIMITED is new in v5 and absent from v4.2 nodes entirely
