Thomas 14547eb489 kernel: guard btck::Handle move-assignment against self-move
The move-assignment operator for btck::Handle<> unconditionally called
DestroyFunc(m_ptr) before reading the source pointer. On a self-move
(h = std::move(h)), this destroyed the held resource and then reassigned
the now-dangling pointer back to m_ptr via std::exchange, leading to a
double-free when the object is later destroyed.

Mirror the existing self-check in the copy-assignment operator by
guarding the move-assignment with 'if (this != &other)' so a self-move
becomes a no-op, leaving the object in a valid state as required by the
standard library.

Handle<> is the base of 16 public types in the kernel C++ API wrapper
(Transaction, Block, BlockHeader, ChainParams, Context, Coin,
BlockValidationState, ScriptPubkey, TransactionOutput, Txid, OutPoint,
TransactionInput, PrecomputedTransactionData, BlockHash,
BlockSpentOutputs, TransactionSpentOutputs), so self-move can arise
from generic algorithms operating on containers of these types.

Extend CheckHandle in test_kernel to cover self-move-assignment for
every Handle-derived type.
