wip: Add initial support for loading signet UTXO snapshots

Adds wiring to connect QML GUI to loading a signet UTXO snapshot via
the connection settings. Modifies src/interfaces/node.h, src/node/interfaces.cpp
and src/validation.h and src/validation.cpp
to implement snapshot loading functionality.

Current limitations:
- Not integrated with onboarding process
- Requires manual navigation to connection settings after initial startup

Testing:
1. Start the node
2. Complete onboarding
3. Navigate to connection settings
4. Load snapshot from provided interface

Note: This is a work in progress. Do not merge until fully implemented and tested.
