Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I'm always frustrated when I am thinking about SN's bootstrap process. If something goes wrong and the Alphabet has not approved SN's netmap entrance, SN waits for the next epoch to try its luck one more time.

Describe the solution you'd like

A node knows NR's VUB and is able to check its candidate status via netmap contract call. If nothing pleasant has happened for the VUB blocks, it the time to try one more time OR at least to log some panic messages that it not gonna take part in the game.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Do nothing. Epoch sleep time is not that critical for now.

Research direction

Start in cmd/neofs-node/netmap.go around the bootstrap handling at lines 175-190, then inspect the linked netmap contract candidate-status call and issue #830. Trace how the node uses the NR VUB and determine the retry or diagnostic behavior for an unapproved candidate. Done means failed bootstrap does not wait unnecessarily, or clearly reports that the node will not enter the netmap.
