Notes:
- bitcoin/bitcoin#23083 increassed how stict the RPC documentation type checks are
- I initially tried fixing all the types -- you can see that work in this commit.
- In the end, I decided there were way too many discrepencies and that it would take
way too long to fix them all. So I just disabled the type check for elements (also in this commit).
Modifies the getnewblockhex json rpc call to accept an array of
commitments instead of a single commitment.
Backwards compatibility is maintained by first attempting to parse as a
string for a singular commitment.
This decouples validation.cpp from netaddress.cpp (transitively,
timedata.cpp, and asmap.cpp).
This is important for libbitcoinkernel as:
- There is no reason for the consensus engine to be coupled with
netaddress, timedata, and asmap
- Users of libbitcoinkernel can now easily supply their own
std::function that provides the adjusted time.
See the src/Makefile.am changes for some satisfying removals.

fa4ee53dca Do not pass time getter to Chainstate helpers (MacroFake)
Pull request description:
It seems confusing to pass chain params, consensus params, or a time function around when it is not needed.
Fix this by:
* Inlining the passed time getter function. I don't see a use case why this should be mockable.
* Using `chainman.GetConsensus()` or `chainman.GetParams()`, where possible.

fa9af21878 scripted-diff: Use getInt<T> over get_int/get_int64 (MacroFake)
Pull request description:
Seems better to see the return type directly and be able to modify it easier, as the return type is used for exceptions (in-range checking and parsing feedback).

dce8c4c381 rpc: getblockfrompeer (Sjors Provoost)
b884ababc2 rpc: move Ensure* helpers to server_util.h (Sjors Provoost)
Pull request description:
This adds an RPC method to fetch a block directly from a peer. This can used to fetch stale blocks with lower proof of work that are normally ignored by the node (`headers-only` in `getchaintips`).
Usage:
```
bitcoin-cli getblockfrompeer HASH peer_n
```
Closes#20155
Limitations:
* you have to specify which peer to fetch the block from
* the node must already have the header
