Merge #18378: Bugfix & simplify bn2vch using int.to_bytes

a733ad5 Add bn2vch test to functional tests (Pieter Wuille)
a3ad645 Simplify bn2vch using int.to_bytes (Pieter Wuille)

Pull request description:

  Alternative to #18374, fixing the incorrect padding added sometimes in `bn2vch`.

  Since we're using Python 3.2+, a much simpler implementation of `bn2vch` is possible using `int.to_bytes`.

  This also adds a "functional" test for bn2vch, in a new "framework_test_script.py", where the "framework_test_" prefix is intended for tests of the framework itself.
