[feature] update proof-of-work to allow setting required rounds (#4186)

# Description

This updates our proof-of-work middleware, NoLLaMas, to work on a more easily configurable algorithm (thank you f0x for bringing this to my attention!). Instead of requiring that a solution with pre-determined number of '0' chars be found, it now pre-computes a result with a pre-determined nonce value that it expects the client to iterate up-to. (though with some level of jitter applied, to prevent it being too-easily gamed). This allows the user to configure roughly how many hash-encode rounds they want their clients to have to complete.
