Fix account_too_new false positive for old Nostr accounts

- Force refresh profile when denying account_too_new, then re-check
- Use querySync for age probe instead of pool.get (all relays, more reliable)
- Add default relays: nostr.info, snort.social, mostr.pub
- Skip cache when cached first-seen is borderline (10-14 days)
