bitcoind: harden the service unit for boot and shutdown
- order after network-online: rpcbind fails with getaddrinfo errors
when bitcoind starts before addresses are configured
- restart on failure so a transient bad start heals itself
- 30min stop timeout: the chainstate flush can far exceed systemd's
90s default, and a SIGKILL there risks a slow replay or a reindex
