Replace mount/remove_children pattern (async issues, duplicate IDs)
with a single persistent #section-view Static widget that gets its
content updated via .update(). All sections now render correctly:
- Dashboard: summary table + latest blocks (fetched async from API)
- Bitcoin/Lightning/Platforms/Settings: info panels
- M key: return to main menu
Also added fetch_latest_blocks() and fetch_hashrate() data workers.

Each menu key now loads real content:
- A (Dashboard): block height, price, hashrate, difficulty, mempool
stats, and latest 5 blocks table — all from mempool.space API
- B (Bitcoin): submenu with blockchain features
- L (Lightning): channel management overview
- P (Platforms): API integrations list
- S (Settings): current mode and config info
- M: return to main menu from any section
New data fetchers: fetch_latest_blocks(), fetch_hashrate(),
fetch_mempool_info() expanded.
Dashboard loads async via run_worker(thread=True) with live
content replacement in the center panel.

MainMenuScreen was a Textual Screen mounted inside a Vertical container,
which doesn't render. Create MainMenu as a Static widget instead:
- New tui/widgets/main_menu.py with Panel+Table menu
- Move keybindings (A/B/L/P/S/Q) to the App level
- Menu now renders correctly in the content area

Replace run_in_thread (not available in Textual 0.89) with
run_worker(fn, thread=True) + call_from_thread for UI updates.
The TUI now launches correctly and fetches live data (block height,
BTC price, fee estimates) on startup and every 30 seconds.
