some of the community nodes return HTTP 200 OK responses with valid JSON but they don't actually contain any work. this results in users being stuck on nodes that cannot provide lightweight PoW, even if their setting is set to "Random", needing manual intervention
this PR adds basic checks that the work field is present, is a string, is 16 characters long, and only consists of hex characters. if any of those basic checks fail, the server automatically switches to a random one if the server setting is set to "Random"
