Merge #19413: refactor: Remove confusing BlockIndex global

fa0dfdf447 refactor: Remove confusing BlockIndex global (MarcoFalke)

Pull request description:

  The global `::BlockIndex()` is problematic for several reasons:

  * It returns a mutable reference to the block tree, without the appropriate lock annotation (`m_block_index` is guarded by `cs_main`). The current code is fine, but in the future this might lead to accidental races and data corruption.
  * The rpc server shouldn't rely on node globals, but rather a context that is passed in to the RPC method.
  * Tests might want to spin up their own block tree, and thus should also not rely on a single global.

  Fix all issues by removing the global
