The legacy serialization was vulnerable to maleation and is fixed by
adopting the same serialization procedure as was already in use for
MuHash.
This also includes necessary test fixes where the hash_serialized2 was
hardcoded as well as correction of the regtest chainparams.

2c0c6f4477 test: dedup file hashing using `sha256sum_file` helper (Sebastian Falbesoner)
Pull request description:
Rather than doing the open/read/hash-steps manually in the affected functional tests, we can just use the `sha256sum_file` helper from the utils module instead.
Note that for the tool_wallet.py test, the used hash is changed from sha1 to sha256, but as the only purpose is to detect file content changes, this doesn't matter. Also, the optimization using `memoryview` is overkill here, as the opened file has only a size of 24KiB and determining the hash via the helper doesn't take longer than a few hundred micro-seconds on my machine.

This change improves the usability of the `dumptxoutset` RPC in two ways,
in the case that an invalid path is passed:
1. return from the RPC immediately, rather then when the file is first
tried to be written (which is _after_ calculating the UTXO set hash)
2. return a proper return code and error message instead of the cryptic
"CAutoFile::operator<<: file handle is nullptr: unspecified
iostream_category error" (-1)

This is part of the [assumeutxo project](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/projects/11) (parent PR: #15606)

A few fixes to make this RPC actually useful when generating snapshots.
- Generate an assumeutxo hash and display it (sort of a bugfix)
- Add nchaintx to output (necessary for use in chainparams entry)
- Add path of serialized UTXO file to output

- Actually generate an assumeutxo hash and display it

- Add path of serialized UTXO file to output
The previous diff touched most files in ./test/, so bump the headers to
avoid having to touch them again for a bump later.

This value is no longer used and is instead specified statically
in chainparams. This change means that previously generated
snapshots will no longer be usable.
