Since the previous commit, CBlockHeader/CBlock object calls to the
methods `.rehash()` and `.calc_sha256()` are effectively no-ops
if the returned value is not used, so we can just remove them.

Pass bitcoin binary command lines from test framework to signet/miner utility
using shell escaping so they are unambigous and don't get mangled if they
contain spaces.
This change is not needed for tests to pass currently, but is a useful change
to avoid CI failures in followup PR
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/31375 and to avoid other bugs.

Pull request description:
Refactors the code a bunch, and adds `--poolnum` / `--poolid` options so that signers can tag their coinbases in a way that explorers can recognise (see also https://github.com/bitcoin-data/mining-pools/pull/82 and https://github.com/mempool/mempool/issues/2903).
The refactoring in particular helps enable the "try using inquisition's getblocktemplate, and if that doesn't work fall back to core's getblocktemplate" logic, as described/implemented in https://github.com/bitcoin-inquisition/bitcoin/pull/7

In order to ensure that the change of nVersion to a uint32_t in the
previous commit has no effect, rename nVersion to version in this commit
so that reviewers can easily spot if a spot was missed or if there is a
check somewhere whose semantics have changed.
Running the miner under python >= 3.12 causes a SyntaxWarning. The problem was
already present in previous versions, but it only triggered a
DeprecationWarning, which was not shown by default.
The change is useful for future-proofing the code base, since future python
versions will start to exit with a runtime exception (see the reference given
later).
Command to see the warning at runtime under python3.11 (DeprecationWarning,
needs "-Walways"):
$ python3.11 -Walways ./contrib/signet/miner
<BASE>/contrib/signet/miner:33: DeprecationWarning: invalid escape sequence '\d'
RE_MULTIMINER = re.compile("^(\d+)(-(\d+))?/(\d+)$")

Command to see the warning at runtime under python3.12 (SyntaxWarning, no
modifiers needed):
$ python3.12 ./contrib/signet/miner
<BASE>/contrib/signet/miner:33: SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence '\d'
RE_MULTIMINER = re.compile("^(\d+)(-(\d+))?/(\d+)$")

Reference ( https://docs.python.org/3.8/library/re.html ):
Regular expressions use the backslash character ('\') [...]. This collides
with Python’s usage of the same character for the same purpose in string
literals; [...]
Also, please note that any invalid escape sequences in Python’s usage of the
backslash in string literals now generate a DeprecationWarning and in the
future this will become a SyntaxError.
The solution is to use Python’s raw string notation for regular expression
patterns;
PSBT signing was changed to use SIGHASH_DEFAULT by default in #22514.
The signet miner script sets the sighash type of the created PSBT to
SIGHASH_ALL, hence this leads to a sighash mismatch when the
`walletprocesspsbt` RPC is called. Fix this by explicitly passing the
correct sighash type.
Note that the same change was needed in one of our functional tests,
see commit d3992669df.
Reported by gruve-p.
When mining the first block of a new signet chain, pick a timestamp for
the first block so that after mining 100 blocks the timestamp will be
back to the current time -- this prevents an unnecessary delay before
any miner rewards have matured enough to be spent. This takes into
account that the delta between blocks may be shorter than 10 minutes due
to attempting to increase the difficulty to match --nbits, but does not
take into account the time spent actually generating the 100 blocks.
