Historically, the headers have been bumped some time after a file has
been touched. Do it now to avoid having to touch them again in the
future for that reason.

This can be reproduced according to the developer notes with something
like
( cd ./src/ && ../contrib/devtools/run-clang-tidy.py -p ../bld-cmake -fix -j $(nproc) )
Also, the header related changes were done manually.
Split CheckProofOfWorkImpl() to introduce a helper function
DeriveTarget() which converts the nBits value to the target.
The function takes pow_limit as an argument so later commits can
avoid having to pass ChainstateManager through the call stack.

To avoid PoW being a blocker for fuzz tests,
`FUZZING_BUILD_MODE_UNSAFE_FOR_PRODUCTION` is used in fuzz builds to
bypass the actual PoW validation in `CheckProofOfWork`. It's
replaced with a check on the last byte of the hash, which allows the
fuzzer to quickly generate (in)valid blocks by checking a single bit,
rather than performing the full PoW computation.
If PoW is the target of a fuzz test, then it should call
`CheckProofOfWorkImpl`.
The rule against difficulty adjustments changing by more than a factor of 4 can
be helpful for anti-DoS measures in contexts where we lack a full headers
chain, so expose this functionality separately and in the narrow case where we
only know the height, new value, and old value.
Includes fuzz test by Martin Zumsande.
Split GetNextWorkRequired() into two functions to allow the difficulty calculations to
be tested without requiring a full blockchain.
Add unit tests to cover basic difficulty calculation, plus each of the min/max actual
time, and maximum difficulty target conditions.
- ensures a consistent usage in header files
- also add a blank line after the copyright header where missing
- also remove orphan new-lines at the end of some files
