Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#30955: Mining interface: getCoinbaseMerklePath() and submitSolution()
525e9dc Add submitSolution to BlockTemplate interface (Sjors Provoost)
47b4875 Add getCoinbaseMerklePath() to Mining interface (Sjors Provoost)
63d6ad7 Move BlockMerkleBranch back to merkle.{h,cpp} (Sjors Provoost)
Pull request description:
The new `BlockTemplate` interface introduced in #30440 allows for a more efficient way for a miner to submit the block solution. Instead of having the send the full block, it only needs to provide the nonce, timestamp, version fields and coinbase transaction.
This PR introduces `submitSolution()` for that. It's currently unused.
#29432 and Sjors/bitcoin#48 use it to process the Stratum v2 message [SubmitSolution](https://github.com/stratum-mining/sv2-spec/blob/main/07-Template-Distribution-Protocol.md#77-submitsolution-client---server). The method should be sufficiently generic to work with alternative mining protocols (none exist that I'm aware off).
This PR also introduces `getCoinbaseMerklePath()`, which is needed in Stratum v2 to construct the `merkle_path` field of the `NewTemplate` message (see [spec](https://github.com/stratum-mining/sv2-spec/blob/main/07-Template-Distribution-Protocol.md#72-newtemplate-server---client)). The coinbase merkle path is also used in Stratum "v1", see e.g. https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/109820/questions-on-merkle-root-hashing-for-stratum-pools
This last function uses `BlockMerkleBranch` which was moved to the test code in #13191. The reason back then for moving it was that it was no longer used. This PR moves it back.
This PR does not change behaviour since both methods are unused.
