fix(chain): WOW block time is 5 min, not 2 (measured); drop cheating-monster tuning

Browse Source 
WOW meanBlockTimeMs 120000 -> 300000. Measured 5.01 min/block over 1000 blocks on
the live daemon; the code comment claiming it was "corrected to 2 min" was backwards.
WOW is a SLOW chain, closer to BTC than XMR for calibration.

Per user feedback ("fast monster feels like cheating") + what the sim then proved:
a supernaturally fast monster doesnt even WORK on slow chains — WOW (5-min) caps
~64% house-win even at a 2.2x monster on a 111x55 map, because a single dungeon
clears in ~1 min << the block so the timer (the fair, on-theme edge) barely bites.
So NETWORK_TUNING drops the monster-speed lever entirely and keeps size∝√blockTime
only (monster stays at its fair preset speed). WOW sizeScale 1.0->1.6 for 5-min blocks.

Consequence: slow chains (WOW/BTC) run honest-but-under-target on the timer until
MULTI-LEVEL DEPTH lands — the real edge lever (cumulative run length across levels
without any single map being an unplayable slog). Deb (WOW/normal) now gets a bigger,
more block-appropriate dungeon (45x22 -> 72x35) with a fair monster.

meanBlockTimeMs has no runtime consumer yet (metadata) so the WOW fix is behavior-safe
today; it corrects the sim + future block-bounded features. Suite 60/428 green.
