kernel: Expose btck_transaction_check consensus function

Add btck_transaction_check() to the libbitcoinkernel C API, exposing
context-free transaction consensus validation (consensus/tx_check.h).

Introduces btck_TxValidationState with introspection and lifecycle
functions. btck_TxValidationResult is exposed for compatibility with
existing validation-state APIs, though btck_transaction_check currently
reaches only UNSET and CONSENSUS.

Includes C++ wrapper and test coverage for btck_transaction_check using
test vectors from tx_valid.json / tx_invalid.json.
