Update wisp to v0.5.1 (crash-safe storage, spider + per-IP fixes)

[kwsantiago]

Brings the package to wisp v0.5.1 and fixes the two issues found testing on StartOS.

(PR #4 merged at v0.5.0 two days ago; the v0.5.1 + per-IP work was force-pushed to that already-merged branch and never reached master, so this is a fresh PR off current master.)

Changes

• Dockerfile: WISP_VERSION v0.5.0 → v0.5.1, WISP_COMMIT 5d5d2fd... (commit-guarded).
• startos/versions/current.ts: 0.5.0:0 → 0.5.1:0, release notes covering crash-safe storage, the Spider feed-freeze fix, and the per-IP change.
• startos/init/seedFiles.ts: seed a high max_connections_per_ip (only when the operator has not set one) so the relay is not capped at 10 connections behind the StartOS reverse proxy, which collapses every client to the proxy's single source IP. Matches how nostr-rs-relay and strfry are packaged (neither limits per IP); global max_connections + the event/query rate limits still protect against abuse. Supersedes Seed trust_proxy=true so per-IP limit works behind StartOS proxy #6 (the trust_proxy / X-Forwarded-For approach, which relied on the unverified assumption that the StartOS ws proxy injects X-Forwarded-For).

What v0.5.1 brings users

• Storage is crash-safe by default (durable, no corruption on power loss).
• Spider keeps your feed current instead of freezing for hours after the initial sync.
• The relay accepts more than 10 concurrent connections behind the StartOS proxy.

Closes #6.

Closes #5.

Walkthrough

Upgrades the pinned WISP binary from v0.5.0 to v0.5.1 in the Dockerfile, adds conditional seeding of security.max_connections_per_ip = 100000 in seedFiles when the value is unset, and bumps the StartOS package version to 0.5.1:0 with updated release notes.

Changes

Wisp v0.5.1 Release

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Conditional per-IP connection limit seeding startos/init/seedFiles.ts	seedFiles now reads the existing wisp.toml and merges security.max_connections_per_ip: 100000 only when the field is undefined, instead of the previous unconditional empty merge. Subsequent operator-set values are preserved on re-init.
WISP binary and package version bumps Dockerfile, startos/versions/current.ts	WISP_VERSION updated to v0.5.1 and WISP_COMMIT set to the matching SHA in the Dockerfile. current.ts advances the StartOS package version to 0.5.1:0 and replaces the release notes string.

Poem

🐇 A hop from five-oh to five-one we go,
The proxy was hiding each IP, you know!
A hundred thousand connections now seeded,
No more TooManyPerIp — workaround unneeded.
The relay runs free, the SHA is pinned right,
This bunny ships fixes by candlelight! 🕯️
