Lift reth static-file symlink guard: op-reth v2.3.2 verified through symlink

Browse Source 
Live test on rpc-uk-4 (unichain-mainnet pruned, 166G static_files moved to
/slowdisk + symlinked): reth healed consistency, initialized the
StaticFileProducer, and resumed committing canonical blocks - full
read/write through the symlink. The guard's premise (old reth refusing
symlinked static_files) no longer holds; pre-v2 reths fail loudly at start,
fallback is --no-slowdisk. Restores/clones of reth nodes to SLOWDISK=True
hosts now offload statics automatically (NVMe is the scarce resource).
Note: reth also has --datadir.static-files for a flag-based layout later.
