Pull request description:

  On the way of transit from `RecursiveMutex` to `Mutex` (see #19303) it is crucial to have run-time `AssertLockHeld()` assertion that does _not_ hide compile-time Clang Thread Safety Analysis warnings.

  On master (65e4ecabd5) using `AssertLockHeld()` could hide Clang Thread Safety Analysis warnings, e.g., with the following patch applied:
  ```diff

  +++ b/src/txmempool.h

       void removeForBlock(const std::vector<CTransactionRef>& vtx, unsigned int nBlockHeight) EXCLUSIVE_LOCKS_REQUIRED(cs);

  ```
  Clang compiles the code without any thread safety warnings.

  See "Add missed thread safety annotations" commit for the actual thread safety warnings that are fixed in this PR.

Threads and synchronization
----------------------------
- Prefer `Mutex` type to `RecursiveMutex` one
- Consistently use [Clang Thread Safety Analysis](https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ThreadSafetyAnalysis.html) annotations to
get compile-time warnings about potential race conditions in code. Combine annotations in function declarations with
run-time asserts in function definitions:
```C++
// txmempool.h
class CTxMemPool
{
public:
...
mutable RecursiveMutex cs;
...
void UpdateTransactionsFromBlock(...) EXCLUSIVE_LOCKS_REQUIRED(::cs_main, cs);
...
}
// txmempool.cpp
void CTxMemPool::UpdateTransactionsFromBlock(...)
{
AssertLockHeld(::cs_main);
AssertLockHeld(cs);
...
}
```
```C++
// validation.h
class ChainstateManager
{
public:
...
bool ProcessNewBlock(...) EXCLUSIVE_LOCKS_REQUIRED(!::cs_main);
...
}
// validation.cpp
bool ChainstateManager::ProcessNewBlock(...)
{
AssertLockNotHeld(::cs_main);
...
LOCK(::cs_main);
...
}
```
- When Clang Thread Safety Analysis is unable to determine if a mutex is locked, use `LockAssertion` class instances:
```C++
// net_processing.h
void RelayTransaction(...) EXCLUSIVE_LOCKS_REQUIRED(::cs_main);
// net_processing.cpp
void RelayTransaction(...)
{
AssertLockHeld(::cs_main);
connman.ForEachNode([&txid, &wtxid](CNode* pnode) {
LockAssertion lock(::cs_main);
...
});
}
```
- Build and run tests with `-DDEBUG_LOCKORDER` to verify that no potential
deadlocks are introduced. As of 0.12, this is defined by default when
configuring with `--enable-debug`.
