Merge bitcoin#30784: test: add check that too large txs aren't put into orphanage

66d13c8 test: add check that large txs aren't put into orphanage (Sebastian Falbesoner)
ed7d224 test: add `BulkTransaction` helper to unit test transaction utils (Sebastian Falbesoner)

Pull request description:

  This PR adds test coverage for the following check in `TxOrphanage::AddTx`, where large orphan txs are ignored in order to avoid memory exhaustion attacks:
  https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/5abb9b1af49be9024f95fa2f777285c531785d85/src/txorphanage.cpp#L22-L34
  Note that this code-path isn't reachable under normal circumstances, as txs larger than `MAX_STANDARD_TX_WEIGHT` are already rejected earlier in the course of doing the mempool standardness checks (see `MemPoolAccept::PreChecks` -> `IsStandardTx` -> `reason = "tx-size";`), so this is only relevant if tx standardness rules are disabled via `-acceptnonstdtxns=1`. The ignore path is checked ~~by asserting the debug log, which is ugly, but as far as I know there is currently no way to access the orphanage entries from the outside~~ via unit test that checks the return value of `AddTx`. As an alternative to adding test coverage, one might consider removing this check altogether (or replacing it with an `Assume`), as it's redundant as explained above.
