Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#22383: rpc: Prefer to use txindex if available for GetTransaction

78f4c8b98e prefer to use txindex if available for GetTransaction (Jameson Lopp)

Pull request description:

  Fixes #22382

  Motivation: prevent excessive disk reads if txindex is enabled.

  Worth noting that this could be argued to be less of a bug and more of an issue of undefined behavior. If a user calls GetTransaction with the wrong block hash, what should happen?
