Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#23300: test: Implicitly sync after generate*, unless opted out

facc352648 test: Implicitly sync after generate*, unless opted out (MarcoFalke)

Pull request description:

  The most frequent failure in functional tests are intermittent races. Fixing such bugs is cumbersome because it involves:
  * Noticing the failure
  * Fetching and reading the log to determine the test case that failed
  * Adding a `self.sync_all()` where it was forgotten
  * Spamming out a pr and waiting for review, which is already sparse

  Also, writing a linter to catch those is not possible, nor is review effective in finding these bugs prior to merge.

  Fix all future intermittent races caused by a missing sync_block call by calling `sync_all` implicitly after each `generate*`, unless opted out. This ensures that the code is race-free (with regards to blocks) when the tests pass once, instead of our current approach where the code can never be guaranteed to be race-free.

  There are some scripted-diff cleanups (see https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/22567), but they will be submitted in a follow-up to reduce the conflicts in this pull.
