readme: add Tor badge, fix Download link, note the SQLite wallet default
- add a Tor badge to the header row
- point Download and the quick-start link at releases.bitflash.network;
the relative ../../releases/latest 404s outside GitHub
- windows quick start: the published package bundles Tor and starts a
managed Tor automatically, with -nomanagedtor to turn it off
- note the single-file SQLite wallet default (1.2.20) and link
docs/storage.md
- bump the checksum-mirror example to v1.2.20
