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.

The encoding arg is confusing, because it is not applied consistently
for all IO.
Also, it is useless, as the majority of files are ASCII encoded, which
are fine to encode and decode with any mode.
Moreover, UTF-8 is already required for most scripts to work properly,
so setting the encoding twice is redundant.
So remove the encoding from most IO. It would be fine to remove from all
IO, however I kept it for two files:
* contrib/asmap/asmap-tool.py: This specifically looks for utf-8
encoding errors, so it makes sense to sepecify the utf-8 encoding
explicitly.
* test/functional/test_framework/test_node.py: Reading the debug log in
text mode specifically counts the utf-8 characters (not bytes), so it
makes sense to specify the utf-8 encoding explicitly.
A target field was added to the getblock and getblockheader RPC calls in bitcoin#31583, but it mistakingly always used the tip value.
Because regtest does not have difficulty adjustment, a test is added for mainnet instead.
The next commit requires an additional mainnet block which changes the difficulty.
Also fix a few minor mistakes in the test (suite):
- rename the create_coinbase retarger_period argument to halving_period. Before bitcoin#31583 this was hardcoded for regtest where these values are the same.
- drop unused fees argument from mine helper
Finally the CPU miner instructions for generating the alternative mainnet chain are expanded.
Since the previous commit, CBlockHeader/CBlock object calls to the
methods `.rehash()` and `.calc_sha256()` are effectively no-ops
if the returned value is not used, so we can just remove them.
Since the previous commit, CTransaction object calls to the
methods `.rehash()` and `.calc_sha256()` are effectively no-ops
if the returned value is not used, so we can just remove them.
Removes all legacy wallet specific functional tests.
Also removes the --descriptor and --legacy-wallet options as these are
no longer necessary with the legacy wallet removed.
