9600ea0145 test: Add edge case of pruning up to index height (Martin Zumsande)
698c524698 index: Fix backwards search for bestblock (Martin Zumsande)

Pull request description:

  This PR attempts to fix an intermittent Init issue encountered during the stress testing of #23289, which relates to the pruning-compatible filter reconstruction logic introduced in #15946.

  The problem would occur when the node starts with `-txindex=1` but `ThreadSync` is interrupted after it sets `m_best_block_index` to Genesis, and before it gets do any further work.
  In that case, during the next restart of the node, an Init error would be thrown because  `BaseIndex::Init()` tries to backtrack from the tip to the last block which has been successfully indexed (here: Genesis), but the backtracking logic didn't work properly in this case:
  The loop
  `while (block_to_test && block->pprev && (block->pprev->nStatus & BLOCK_HAVE_DATA))` checks if a predecessor exists **before** performing the check `block_to_test == block` and then possbily setting `prune_violation = false`
  If `block_to_test` and `block` are the Genesis block this check will not be reached because `block->pprev` does not exist.

  To reproduce this bug on regtest:
  1) start a node with a fresh datadir using `-txindex=1` (or any other index)
  2) stop and restart without any index
  3) mine a block
  3) stop and restart again with the index enabled
  ->InitError `Error: txindex best block of the index goes beyond pruned data. (...)`

  Fix this by requiring that we have the data for the block of the current iteration `block` (instead of requiring it for the predecessor `block->pprev`)
  That way, the check for `block_to_test == block` is also reached when `block_to_test` is the Genesis block.
  No longer requiring the data of `block->pprev` also means that we can now prune up to `m_best_block_index` height without requiring a reindex (one block more than before). I added this edge case to `feature_blockfilterindex_prune.py`, the new version should fail on master.

    Partial code review ACK 9600ea0145 for the code change, not the test changes. (Test changes are indirect and little over my head.) It seems obvious that previous code `prune_violation = true, while (block->pprev)` would incorrectly detect a prune violation at the genesis block, and the fix here make sense and looks correct.
