netsync: add TestSyncStateMachine for end-to-end IBD sync flow

Tests the full IBD state machine: startSync → fetchHeaders →
handleHeadersMsg → fetchHeaderBlocks → handleBlockMsg → IBD complete.

Three sub-cases exercise different paths:
- fresh IBD from genesis
- node restart with partially synced blocks
- stalled sync peer recovery via handleStallSample

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit only adds a new automated test file for the Bitcoin sync manager. It does not change any production code, so it cannot introduce a security vulnerability or fix one in the running software. The change is purely defensive testing: it simulates various Initial Block Download (IBD) scenarios to make sure the sync logic behaves correctly.

Recommended action

No security action needed. Review the test for correctness and coverage as part of normal QA.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
