fa6801366d refactor: [rpc] Remove confusing and brittle integral casts (take 2) (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
Second take for cases which I seem to have missed in commit 94ddc2dced.
When constructing an UniValue from integral values, historically (long ago), in some cases casts where needed. With the current UniValue constructor, only very few are actually needed.
Keeping the unused casts around is:
* confusing, because code readers do not understand why they are needed
* brittle, because some may copy them into new places, where they will lead to hard-to-find logic bugs, such as the ones fixed in pull https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/34112
So fix all issues by removing them, except for a few cases, where casting was required:
* `static_cast<bool>(fCoinBase)`, because `bool{fCoinBase}` only works on modern compilers.
This hardening refactor does not fix any bugs and does not change any behavior.

This refactor does not change behavior. However, it avoids a vector
copy, which can lead to a minimal speed-up of 1%-5%, depending on the
call-site. This is mostly relevant for the fuzz tests and utils that
read large blobs of data (like a full block).

Pull request description:
### Context
The new accounting options introduced in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/32582 can be quite heavy, and are not needed when debug logging is disabled.
### Problem
`PartiallyDownloadedBlock::FillBlock()` and `PeerManagerImpl::SendBlockTransactions()` accumulate transaction sizes for debug logging by calling `ComputeTotalSize()` in loops, which invokes expensive `GetSerializeSize()` serializations.
The block header hash is also only computed for the debug log.
### Fixes
Guard the size and hash calculations with `LogAcceptCategory()` checks so the serialization and hashing work only occurs when compact block debug logging is enabled.
Also modernized the surrounding code a bit since the change is quite trivial.
### Reproducer
You can test the change by starting an up-to-date `bitcoind` node with `-debug=cmpctblock` and observing compact block log lines such as:

Transaction hashes are cached, it may not be intuitive that their sizes are actually recalculated every time.
This is done before the other refactors to clarify why we want to avoid calling this method;
