Smart Node changes

• Fixed Besu JWT secret generation by replacing openssl (missing in newer Besu images) and treating empty JWT files as invalid so they are recreated on restart;
• Removed the HTTP timeout on wallet recover / wallet rebuild so large nodes no longer fail mid-recovery. The API now avoids duplicate calls while recovery runs and recovered key progress is printed on the CLI;
• Improved observe/masquerade mode. An alert when observe mode is active, and a prompt to restart the node/watchtower containers when starting or ending observe;
• Fixed the megapool validator mapping;
• Reworked Grafana RPL metrics and included megapool validators in duty-related Beacon metrics (Dashboard v1.4.1 descriptions updated);
• Use SHARD_COMMITTEE_PERIOD from the beacon config when determining voluntary exit eligibility;
• Load megapool validator details from the finalized beacon state for exit notifications;
• Added Gloas beacon state/block support and refactored withdrawal proofs to work with stable containers, in preparation for the next consensus upgrade;
• Updated Go to v1.26.5 and various project dependencies.
