RandomX fast mode, opt-in with -randomxfastmode.

It builds a ~2 GB table in memory instead of the 256 MiB cache and mines several times faster on a machine with the RAM to spare. Verification is untouched — fast and light produce identical hashes, and every validation path still runs light mode. Two tests carry that property so it cannot rot.

The Windows tray exposes it as a checkbox, enabled only when the machine actually has the memory free.

Also in this release: LWMA is now active (height 2800), and difficulty retargets every block.

Windows is a zip only — the Inno Setup installer was dropped. Verify your download against SHA256SUMS.
