Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#29775: Testnet4 including PoW difficulty adjustment fix

6bfa26048d testnet: Add timewarp attack prevention for Testnet4 (Fabian Jahr)
0100907ca1 testnet: Add Testnet4 difficulty adjustment rules fix (Fabian Jahr)
74a04f9e7a testnet: Introduce Testnet4 (Fabian Jahr)

Pull request description:

  To supplement the [ongoing conceptual discussion about a testnet reset](https://groups.google.com/g/bitcoindev/c/9bL00vRj7OU/m/9yCPo3uUBwAJ) I have drafted a move to v4 including a fix to the difficulty adjustment mechanism, which was part of the motivation that started the discussion.

  Conceptual considerations:
  - The conceptual discussion about doing a testnet4 or softforking the fix into testnet3 is outside of the scope of this PR and I would ask reviewers to contribute their opinions on this on the ML instead. However, I am happy to adapt this PR to a softfork change on testnet3 if there is consensus for that instead.
  - The difficulty adjustment fix suggested here touches the `CalculateNextWorkRequired` function and uses the same logic used in `GetNextWorkRequired` to find the last previous block that was not mined with difficulty 1 under the exceptionf. An alternative fix briefly mentioned on the mailing list by Jameson Lopp would be to "restrict the special testnet minimum difficulty rule so that it can't be triggered on the block right before a difficulty retarget". That would also fix the issue but I find my suggestion here a bit more elegant.
