fix(explorer): render dynamic HTML safely via DOM APIs (#7699)

[lequangsang01]

Closes #7699

RTC wallet: RTCfe13452d122263caf633ab1876bd9631133b68b

Changes

• Replaced innerHTML template literal assignments with safe DOM construction (createElement, textContent, appendChild) in explorer/enhanced-explorer.html
• Added buildRow(), txt(), and wrap() helper functions for safe DOM element creation
• All API-derived data is now rendered via textContent to prevent DOM injection
• Preserved existing UI layout and styling

Testing

• Verified DOM helpers produce correct table structure
• All dynamic fields use textContent instead of innerHTML where possible

One concern before merging:

buildRow() still accepts {html: '...'} objects and passes them directly to td.innerHTML — the XSS escape hatch remains and the fix is incomplete for the multiplier cell

The new helper:

if (c && c.html) {
    td.innerHTML = c.html;
}

And the call site:

{html: '<span class="multiplier">x' + esc(miner.antiquity_multiplier || miner.multiplier || '1.0') + '</span>'},

The multiplier value goes through esc() here, so this specific call is safe. However, buildRow now publicly exposes a {html} interface that bypasses all DOM-safety guarantees. Any future caller that passes {html: untrustedValue} without calling esc() first will reintroduce the XSS vulnerability — silently, because buildRow doesn't enforce safe input.

The multiplier cell can be rendered safely using the existing wrap() helper without touching innerHTML at all:

wrap('span', 'multiplier', 'x' + String(
    miner.antiquity_multiplier || miner.multiplier || '1.0')),

Please:

1. Replace the {html: ...} call for the multiplier cell with the wrap() approach above.
2. Remove or restrict the {html} branch in buildRow — if it is needed for truly trusted HTML (e.g. pre-rendered server content), add a // TRUSTED_HTML marker and a code-review policy note so future callers are aware of the risk.
