Merge #17905: gui: Avoid redundant tx status updates

96cb597 gui: Avoid redundant tx status updates (Russell Yanofsky)

Pull request description:

  This PR is part of the [process separation project](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/projects/10).

  In `TransactionTablePriv::index`, avoid calling `interfaces::Wallet::tryGetTxStatus` if the status is up to date as of the most recent `NotifyBlockTip` notification.  Store height from the most recent notification in a new `ClientModel::cachedNumBlocks` variable in order to check this.

  This avoids floods of IPC traffic from `tryGetTxStatus` with #10102 when there are a lot of transactions. It might also make the GUI a little more efficient even when there is no IPC.
