fix(namecoin): don't leak lookup exceptions through resolve()

`IElectrumXClient.nameShowWithFallback` implementations always throw a
`NamecoinLookupException` subtype (NameNotFound, NameExpired,
ServersUnreachable) on failure — the return-nullable signature is a
legacy of the old contract but no live impl (`ElectrumXClient`,
`CompositeNamecoinBackend`) actually returns null anymore.

`NamecoinNameResolver.performLookup` (the code path taken by the
non-detailed `resolve()` used by `Nip05Client.verify()`) has no
try/catch around that call. So any transport-level failure propagates
out of `resolve()` into `Nip05State.checkAndUpdate`, where the
`catch (e: Exception)` handler calls `markAsError()` and the NIP-05
verification badge in the UI turns into a red "Report" icon with the
`nip05_failed` string — regardless of whether the actual cause was
"servers all unreachable" or "resolver returned the wrong pubkey".

That collapses two very different failure modes into the same
red-icon state:

  1. Real verification failure (kind-0 nip05 doesn't match the
     Namecoin record's pubkey) — user should investigate.
  2. Transient network issue (custom ElectrumX server offline;
     `fallbackToDefaultElectrumx` disabled; carrier blocking
     port 50002/57002; Tor toggle on with Tor unreachable; etc.)
     — user should retry or check settings.

`resolveDetailed()` already has the try/catch and returns structured
outcomes (`NameNotFound` / `ServersUnreachable` / etc.). This change
brings `performLookup` in line so `resolve()` honours its documented
"returns null on any failure" contract, matching how
`expandImportsIfPresent` already treats `NamecoinLookupException`
during import-target fetches (best-effort → null).

Repro:

  * Namecoin Settings → set backend to "Namecoin Core RPC" with a
    localhost URL, no fallback. Or set a custom ElectrumX server
    that the phone can't reach (different network, cellular vs.
    Wi-Fi, etc.). Or leave `fallbackToDefaultElectrumx = false`
    with unreachable customServers.
  * Open any profile whose `nip05` field ends in `.bit` — you
    get the red icon (Error state) even though the record itself
    is fine on-chain and the pubkey matches.
  * After this fix: same setup surfaces null through
    `resolve()` → `verify()` returns false →
    `markAsInvalid()` → still red (Failed state, not Error), but
    no exception leaks. And the identical
    `NamecoinLookupException` handling on both the primary lookup
    and the import-target fetch means resolution behaves
    consistently regardless of which hop fails.

Tests: `NamecoinNameResolverExceptionTest` pins the contract with
7 hermetic cases covering NameNotFound / NameExpired /
ServersUnreachable / generic transport failure / CancellationException
propagation / and continued `resolveDetailed()` visibility of the
specific outcome subtype.

Verification:

    ./gradlew :quartz:verifyKmpPurity \
              :quartz:compileKotlinLinuxX64 \
              :quartz:compileKotlinIosArm64 \
              :quartz:spotlessCheck \
              :quartz:jvmTest --tests \
              'com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip05.namecoin.*'

  BUILD SUCCESSFUL. All namecoin nip05 tests green; KMP purity + iOS
  + Linux native + spotless all clean.
