[bisq-network/bisq] Find solution for restore from seed not using all the created addresses (#4887)

[chimp1984]

Restore from seed shoulld only be used in emergency cases when data directly is lost or wallet file is corrupted (even then its better to look up for a not corrupted backup file).

To verify the problem you can search in the wallet data (wallet tool opened by cmd+j) for the missing txs and addresses. Those txs are confirmed in the blockexplorer but not visible in bisq as the addresses are missing in the wallet as those addresses have been created in some future batches.

To fix open issues and if there is a backup available from the time before the restore from seed was done, I recommend following:

1. Make a backup for the data directory
2. Look up for the most recent wallet backup files before the restore from seed was done. The file size is likely larger then the newer ones. You can lookup in the backup folder as well
3. Copy over both the bisq_BTC.wallet and bisq_BSQ.wallet file to the current data dir and replace the old one
4. Delete the spv file
5. Start Bisq, it will do a spv resycn. it can take quite some time and use 100% CPU
6. After synced, restart
7. Now the missing addresses and transactions should be there.
