We comment out a newly-added assert from the Bitcoin
side, because it's unclear how to replicate it
correctly in Elements.

cccc1e70b8 Enforce Taproot script flags whenever WITNESS is set (MarcoFalke)
fa42299411 Remove nullptr check in GetBlockScriptFlags (MarcoFalke)
faadc606c7 refactor: Pass const reference instead of pointer to GetBlockScriptFlags (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
Now that Taproot is active, it makes sense to enforce its rules on all blocks, even historic ones, regardless of the deployment status.
### Benefits:
(With "script flags" I mean "taproot script verification flags".)
* Script flags are known ahead for all blocks (even blocks not yet created) and do not change. This may benefit static analysis, code review, and development of new script features that build on Taproot.
* Any future bugs introduced in the deployment code won't have any effect on the script flags, as they are independent of deployment.
* Enforcing the taproot rules regardless of the deployment status makes testing easier because invalid blocks after activation are also invalid before activation. So there is no need to differentiate the two cases.
* It gives belt-and-suspenders protection against a practically expensive and theoretically impossible IBD reorg attack where the node is eclipsed. While `nMinimumChainWork` already protects against this, the cost for a few months worth of POW might be lowered until a major version release of Bitcoin Core reaches EOL. The needed work for the attack is the difference between `nMinimumChainWork` and the work at block 709632.
For reference, previously the same was done for P2SH and WITNESS in commit 0a8b7b4b33.
### Implementation:
I found one block which fails verification with the flags applied, so I added a `TaprootException`, similar to the `BIP16Exception`.
For reference, the debug log:
```

```
Hint for testing, make sure to set `-noassumevalid`.
### Considerations
Obviously this change can lead to consensus splits on the network in light of massive reorgs. Currently the last block before Taproot activation, that is the last block without the Taproot script flags set, is only buried by a few days of POW. However, when and if this patch is included in the next major release, it will be buried by a few months of POW. BIP90 considerations apply when looking at reorgs this large.

ACK cccc1e70b8 ; code review; wrote a "getblockscriptflags" rpc to quickly check that blocks just had bit 17 (taproot) added; review of earlier revisions had established non-exception blocks do validate with taproot rules enabled.

This was changed in #22818 from 0 to 1. Since it changes
BLOCK_OPT_WIT of the genesis block, older versions of bitcoin
core would not read regtest directories created with newer versions
without a reindex.
- `m_assumed_chain_state_size` doesn't seem to need to be changed for mainnet.
- No change needed for testnet/signet.

dc10ca346b net: switch to signet DNS seed (Sjors Provoost)
Pull request description:
I spun up a DNS seed for Signet, source: https://github.com/sipa/bitcoin-seeder/pull/94
If anyone else spins up a DNS seed, let me know in the comment and I'll add it.
Because one DNS seed is not very diverse, this PR leaves two hardcoded nodes just in case (). The one dropped node no longer exists.
Replaces #23000.
