This commit fixes a crash that occurred when swapping between Damus and
other apps.
When Damus enters background mode, NostrDB is closed and its resources
released. When Damus re-enters foreground mode, NostrDB is reopened.
However, an issue with the transaction inheritance logic
caused a race condition where a side menu profile lookup would get an
obsolete transaction containing pointers that have been freedwhen
NostrDB was closed, causing a "use-after-free" memory error.
The issue was fixed by improving the transaction inheritance logic to
double-check if the "generation" counter (which auto increments when
Damus closes and re-opens) matches the generation marked on the
thread-specific transaction. This effectively prevents lookups from
inheriting an obsolete transaction from a previous NostrDB generation.
