Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#23549: Add scanblocks RPC call (attempt 2)

626b7c8 fuzz: add scanblocks as safe for fuzzing (James O'Beirne)
94fe545 test: rpc: add scanblocks functional test (Jonas Schnelli)
6ef2566 rpc: add scanblocks - scan for relevant blocks with descriptors (Jonas Schnelli)
a4258f6 rpc: move-only: consolidate blockchain scan args (James O'Beirne)

Pull request description:

  Revives #20664. All feedback from the previous PR has either been responded to inline or incorporated here.

  ---

  Major changes from Jonas' PR:
  - consolidated arguments for scantxoutset/scanblocks
  - substantial cleanup of the functional test

  Here's the range-diff (`git range-diff master jonasschnelli/2020/12/filterblocks_rpc jamesob/2021-11-scanblocks`): https://gist.github.com/jamesob/aa4a975344209f0316444b8de2ec1d18

  ### Original PR description

  > The `scanblocks` RPC call allows one to get relevant blockhashes from a set of descriptors by scanning all blockfilters in a given range.
  >
  > **Example:**
  >
  > `scanblocks start '["addr(<bitcoin_address>)"]' 661000` (returns relevant blockhashes for `<bitcoin_address>` from blockrange 661000->tip)
  >
  > ## Why is this useful?
  > **Fast wallet rescans**: get the relevant blocks and only rescan those via `rescanblockchain getblockheader(<hash>)[height] getblockheader(<hash>)[height])`. A future PR may add an option to allow to provide an array of blockhashes to `rescanblockchain`.
  >
  > **prune wallet rescans**: (_needs additional changes_): together with a call to fetch blocks from the p2p network if they have been pruned, it would allow to rescan wallets back to the genesis block in pruned mode (relevant #15946).
  >
  > **SPV mode** (_needs additional changes_): it would be possible to build the blockfilterindex from the p2p network (rather then deriving them from the blocks) and thus allow some sort of hybrid-SPV mode with moderate bandwidth consumption (related #9483)
