Subject: [PATCH] Fix C++ tests build and verify peer ping implementation

Fixed C++ build failures in `miner/core/tests/CMakeLists.txt`:
- Applied `-mavx2 -mvaes` compilation flags to `CryptoNight_x86_vaes.cpp` in the test library target, mirroring the main build configuration. This resolves the `target specific option mismatch` error during compilation.
- Applied optimization flags to `CnHash.cpp` in the test library target.

Verified Go implementation:
- Confirmed `PingPeer` is implemented in `pkg/node/controller.go`.
- Confirmed `handlePing` is implemented in `pkg/node/worker.go`.
- Confirmed `go.mod` includes necessary dependencies.

Recorded learnings regarding CMake property propagation across directories.
