uint256S was previously deprecated for being unsafe. All non-test
usage has already been removed in earlier commits.
1. Tests now use uint256::FromHex() or other constructors wherever
possible without further modification.
2. Tests that can't use uint256::FromHex() because they use input
with non-hex digit characters are
a) modified by dropping the non-hex digit characters if that
provides useful test coverage.
b) dropped if the test without non-hex digit characters does
not provide useful test coverage, e.g. because it is now
duplicated.
Additionally, use BOOST_CHECK_EQUAL where relevant on touched lines
to make error messages more readable.
fad0cf6f26 refactor: Use std::ranges::equal in GetNetworkForMagic (MarcoFalke)
fadf0a7e15 refactor: Remove Span operator==, Use std::ranges::equal (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
`std::span` removed the comparison operators, so it makes sense to remove them for the `Span` "backport" as well. Using `std::ranges::equal` also has the benefit that some `Span` temporary constructions can now be dropped.
This is required to move from `Span` toward `std::span`.

FromUserHex will be used in future commits to construct
uint256 instances from user hex input without being
unnecessarily restrictive on formatting by allowing
0x-prefixed input that is shorter than 64 characters.

Pull request description:
Now that libsecp256k1 has a release (https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2022-December/021271.html), update the subtree to match it.
The changes themselves are not very impactful for Bitcoin Core, but include:
* It's no longer needed to specify whether contexts are for signing or verification or both (all contexts support everything), so make use of that in this PR.
* Verification operations can use the static context now, removing the need for some infrastructure in pubkey.cpp to make sure a context exists.
* Most modules are now enabled by default, so we can drop explicit enabling for them.
* CI improvements (in particular, MSVC and more recent MacOS)
* Introduction of an internal int128 type, which has no effect for GCC/Clang builds, but enables 128-bit multiplication in MSVC, giving a ~20% speedup there (but still slower than GCC/Clang).
* Release process changes (process documentation, changelog, ...).

* Use SECP256K1_CONTEXT_NONE when creating signing context, as
SECP256K1_CONTEXT_SIGN is deprecated and unnecessary.
* Use secp256k1_static_context where applicable.
