Merge bitcoin#23819: ConnectBlock: don't serialize block hash twice

eb8b22d block_connected: re-use previous GetTimeMicros (William Casarin)
80e1c55 block_connected: don't serialize block hash twice (William Casarin)

Pull request description:

  In the validation:block_connected tracepoint, we call block->GetHash(), which
  ends up calling CBlockHeader::GetHash(), executing around 8000 serialization
  instructions. We don't need to do this extra work, because block->GetHash() is
  already called further up in the function. Let's save that value as a local
  variable and re-use it in our tracepoint so there is no unnecessary tracepoint
  overhead.

  Shave off an extra 100 or so instructions from the validation:block_connected
  tracepoint by reusing a nearby GetTimeMicros(). This brings the tracepoint down
  to 54 instructions.  Still high, but much better than the previous ~154 and
  8000 instructions which it was originally.
