110a0f405c interfaces, chain, refactor: Remove unused getTipLocator (pablomartin4btc)

Pull request description:

  Remove `Chain::getTipLocator`, `Chain::GetLocator()`, and `Chain::getActiveChainLocator`:
  - `Chain::getTipLocator` is no longer used.
  - `Chain::GetLocator`, replaced its call by `GetLocator()`, which uses `LocatorEntries`, avoiding direct access to the chain itself (change suggested by l0rinc while reviewing this PR to maintain consistency with the overall refactoring).
  - `Chain::getActiveChainLocator`, whose name was misleading, has functionality redundant with Chain::findBlock.
    - Additionally, the comment for getActiveChainLocator became inaccurate following changes in commit ed470940cd (from PR #25717).

  This is a [follow-up](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/29652#issuecomment-3151665095) to #29652.
