trie/bintrie: parallelize InternalNode.Hash at shallow tree depths (#34032)

## Summary

At tree depths below `log2(NumCPU)` (clamped to [2, 8]), hash the left
subtree in a goroutine while hashing the right subtree inline. This
exploits available CPU cores for the top levels of the tree where
subtree hashing is most expensive. On single-core machines, the parallel
path is disabled entirely.

Deeper nodes use sequential hashing with the existing `sync.Pool` hasher
where goroutine overhead would exceed the hash computation cost. The
parallel path uses `sha256.Sum256` with a stack-allocated buffer to
avoid pool contention across goroutines.

**Safety:**
- Left/right subtrees are disjoint — no shared mutable state
- `sync.WaitGroup` provides happens-before guarantee for the result
- `defer wg.Done()` + `recover()` prevents goroutine panics from
crashing the process
- `!bt.mustRecompute` early return means clean nodes never enter the
parallel path
- Hash results are deterministic regardless of computation order — no
consensus risk

## Benchmark (AMD EPYC 48-core, 500K entries, `--benchtime=10s
--count=3`, post-H01 baseline)

| Metric | Baseline | Parallel | Delta |
|--------|----------|----------|-------|
| Approve (Mgas/s) | 224.5 ± 7.1 | **259.6 ± 2.4** | **+15.6%** |
| BalanceOf (Mgas/s) | 982.9 ± 5.1 | 954.3 ± 10.8 | -2.9% (noise, clean
nodes skip parallel path) |
| Allocs/op (approve) | ~810K | ~700K | -13.6% |
