Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#25223: [kernel 2e/n] miner: Make mempool optional, stop constructing temporary empty mempools

0f1a259657 miner: Make mempool optional for BlockAssembler (Carl Dong)
cc5739b27d miner: Make UpdatePackagesForAdded static (Carl Dong)
f024578b3a miner: Absorb SkipMapTxEntry into addPackageTxs (Carl Dong)

Pull request description:

  This is part of the libbitcoinkernel project: #24303, https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/projects/18

  This is **_NOT_** dependent on, but is a "companion-PR" to #25215.

  ### Abstract

  This PR removes the need to construct `BlockAssembler` with temporary, empty mempools in cases where we don't want to source transactions from the mempool (e.g. in `TestChain100Setup::CreateBlock` and `generateblock`). After this PR, `BlockAssembler` will accept a `CTxMemPool` pointer and handle the `nullptr` case instead of requiring a `CTxMemPool` reference.

  An overview of the changes is best seen in the changes in the header file:

  ### Alternatives

  Aside from approach in this current PR, we can also take the approach of moving the `CTxMemPool*` argument from the `BlockAssembler` constructor to `BlockAssembler::CreateNewBlock`, since that's where it's needed anyway. I did not push this approach because it requires quite a lot of call sites to be changed. However, I do have it coded up and can do that if people express a strong preference. This would look something like:

  ```
  BlockAssembler::BlockAssembler(CChainState& chainstate, const Options& options);
  BlockAssembler::CreateNewBlock(const CScript& scriptPubKeyIn, const CTxMemPool* maybe_mempool);
  ```

  ### Future work

  Although wholly out of scope for this PR, we could potentially refine the `BlockAssembler` interface further, so that we have:

  ```
  BlockAssembler::BlockAssembler(CChainState& chainstate, const Options& options);
  BlockAssembler::CreateNewBlock(const CScript& scriptPubKeyIn, std::vector<CTransaction>& txs);
  BlockAssembler::CreateNewBlock(const CScript& scriptPubKeyIn, const CTxMemPool& mempool);
  ```

  Whereby `TestChain100Setup::CreateBlock` and `generateblock` would call the `BlockAssembler::CreateNewBlock` that takes in `CTransaction`s and we can potentially remove `RegenerateCommitments` altogether. All other callers can use the `CTxMemPool` version.
