feat(tui): LIVE real-time network stats streaming! 🚀

**MAJOR FEATURE:** Dashboard now shows LIVE blockchain data!

Implemented Complete Real-Time Streaming:

🔴 LIVE Network Stats Panel:
- Real-time slot height (updates every 5s)
- Live TPS performance metrics
- Current epoch tracking
- Active validator count
- Network health monitoring
- Automatic refresh with timer

Background RPC Polling Thread:
- start_network_stats_polling() spawns dedicated thread
- Polls Solana RPC every 5 seconds
- Fetches: slot, epoch, perf samples, validators, health
- Thread-safe updates via Arc<Mutex<NetworkStats>>
- Non-blocking - TUI remains responsive

Auto-Integration:
- Wired into research (wallet-explorer) command
- Starts automatically when TUI launches
- Uses SOLANA_RPC_URL env var (default: mainnet-beta)
- Zero user configuration required

Color-Coded Real-Time Metrics:
- TPS: Green (>2000), Yellow (>1000), Red (<1000)
- Health: Green (ok), Red (error)
- Dynamic visual feedback based on live data

Technical Implementation:
- Background std::thread with blocking RPC client
- Mutex-locked shared state for thread safety
- Performance samples for TPS calculation
- Vote accounts for validator count
- Health endpoint for network status
- 5-second refresh interval

What This Enables:
✅ See ACTUAL current slot height
✅ Monitor REAL network TPS performance
✅ Track LIVE validator count
✅ Detect network health issues immediately
✅ Watch blockchain state change in real-time

Data Flow:
1. Background thread polls RPC every 5s
2. Updates NetworkStats in Arc<Mutex<>>
3. TUI reads latest stats on each render frame
4. User sees live data with "Xs ago" refresh timer

Before: Static placeholder values (all zeros)
After: LIVE blockchain data streaming every 5 seconds!

Try it:
```bash
./target/release/osvm research --tui <WALLET_ADDRESS>
# Watch the network stats update in real-time! 🔴
```
