bfc4e029d4 Remove testBlockValidity() from mining interface (Sjors Provoost)
Pull request description:
There are three methods in the mining interface that can be dropped. The Template Provider doesn't need them and other application should probably not use them either.
1. `processNewBlock()` was added in 7b4d3249ce, but became unnecessary with the introduction of interfaces::BlockTemplate::submitSolution in 7b4d3249ce.
Dropping it was suggested in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/30200#issuecomment-2404460342
2. `getTransactionsUpdated()`: this is used in the implementation of #31003 `waitFeesChanged`. It's not very useful generically because the mempool updates very frequently.
3. `testBlockValidity()`: it might be useful for mining application to have a way to check the validity of a block template they modified, but the Stratum v2 Template Provider doesn't do that, and this method is a bit brittle (e.g. the block needs to build on the tip).

The src/node/ directory contains code that needs to access node state
(state in CChain, CBlockIndex, CCoinsView, CTxMemPool, and similar
classes).
Code in src/node/ is meant to be segregated from code in
src/wallet/ and src/qt/, to ensure wallet and GUI
code changes don't interfere with node operation, to allow wallet and GUI code
to run in separate processes, and to perhaps eventually allow wallet and GUI
code to be maintained in separate source repositories.
As a rule of thumb, code in one of the src/node/,
src/wallet/, or src/qt/ directories should avoid
calling code in the other directories directly, and only invoke it indirectly
through the more limited src/interfaces/ classes.
This directory is at the moment
sparsely populated. Eventually more substantial files like
src/validation.cpp and
src/txmempool.cpp might be moved there.
