Some Python functional tests still use plain `assert x == y`.
The earlier commits convert the ambiguous assert patterns by hand, so this commit can rewrite the remaining safe cases mechanically.
The verify script excludes `wallet_bumpfee.py`, `test_framework/netutil.py`, and `test_framework/authproxy.py`, which still contain assert forms that the plain line-based substitution would misidentify.
-BEGIN VERIFY SCRIPT-
perl -pi -e 's/^(\s*)assert (.+?) == ([^,#]+?)$/\1assert_equal(\2, \3)/' $(git ls-files -- 'test/functional' \
':(exclude)test/functional/wallet_bumpfee.py' ':(exclude)test/functional/test_framework/netutil.py' ':(exclude)test/functional/test_framework/authproxy.py')
-END VERIFY SCRIPT-
The later scripted diff only handles plain `assert x == y` lines.
Some remaining tests still use equality inside comprehensions, parenthesized asserts, and other shapes that the line-based rewrite would misread.
Rewrite those sites by hand first so the later mechanical conversion stays safe.
The commit also simplifies the dead `len(["errors"]) == 0` branch in `blocktools.py`, which can never be true.
Mark blockhashes and scanobjects arguments as required, so the user receives
a clear help message when either is missing.
Added a new functional test for this use case.

Add self.log.info(...) calls at the beginning of each test
in GetBlocksActivityTest.
This improves readability and provides debugging information
by logging the purpose of each test upon its correct
execution.
This is in preparation for the next commit, which adds a new test
with log info, and it would look inconsistent without this commit.
