1163b08378 chainparams: Add initial minimum chain work for Testnet4 (Fabian Jahr)

Pull request description:

  This completes follow-ups left open in #29775.

  - Adds release notes
  - Addresses the [misalignment](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/29775#discussion_r1706982102) in deprecation warnings and hints at the intention to remove support for Testnet3.
  - Adds initial minimum chainwork for Testnet4.
  - Use the `MAX_TIMEWARP` constant as the timewarp defense delta, equal to `MAX_FUTURE_BLOCK_TIME`.
