* [Wait longer for lnd during the kvdb-to-SQL
migration](https://github.com/lightninglabs/lightning-terminal/pull/1359):
The kvdb-to-SQL data migration polls lnd's `ListMacaroonIDs` RPC, which only
becomes available once lnd reaches its "RPC active" state. On nodes with a
large channel/graph state, lnd can take well over a minute to get there after
the wallet is unlocked, which exceeded the previous fixed 60-second poll
budget and caused the migration (and therefore litd startup) to fail
permanently, requiring a manual restart. The wait is now bounded by a
configurable, generous timeout (`--lndreadytimeout`, defaulting to 10
minutes) instead of a fixed attempt count.
