Fix Oracle System Deadlock and Schnorr Signature Validation

FIX #1: ConnectBlock Segfault
- validation.cpp: Added null pointer checks for pindex->phashBlock
- Prevents segfault in GetBlockScriptFlags() and ConnectBlock()

FIX #2: Mutex Deadlock + Schnorr Signatures
- bundle_manager.h: Changed mtx_messages from std::mutex to std::recursive_mutex
- bundle_manager.cpp: Updated all lock_guard types for recursive mutex
- oracle_bundle_manager_tests.cpp: Fixed all tests to use proper Schnorr signatures

Problem: Tests hung indefinitely due to mutex deadlock when AddOracleMessage()
locked mtx_messages then called TryCreateBundle() which tried to lock it again.
std::mutex is not recursive by default.

Result: Tests no longer hang, complete in 22ms. Schnorr signature validation
now works correctly. 4/8 oracle_bundle_manager tests passing (was 0/8 hanging).

Test Results:
- Baseline: 106/125 passing (84.8%)
- Current: 109/125 passing (87.2%)
- Improvement: +3 tests
