fe92c15f0c44d1405b9048306736bd0eae868506 script/sign: avoid duplicated signature verification after signing (Sebastian Falbesoner)
080089567ca766d4c1cde8ec0e5c7df48f566e07 bench: add benchmark for `SignTransaction` (Sebastian Falbesoner)
Pull request description:
This PR is a small performance improvement on the `SignTransaction` function, which is used mostly by the wallet (obviously) and the `signrawtransactionwithkey` RPC. The lower-level function `ProduceSignature` already calls `VerifyScript` internally as last step in order to check whether the signature data is complete:
daa56f7f66/src/script/sign.cpp (L568-L570)
If and only if that is the case, the `complete` field of the `SignatureData` is set to `true` accordingly and there is no need then to verify the script after again, as we already know that it would succeed.
This leads to a rough ~20% speed-up for `SignTransaction` for single-input ECDSA or Taproot transactions, according to the newly introduced `SignTransaction{ECDSA,Taproot}` benchmarks:
```
$ ./src/bench/bench_bitcoin --filter=SignTransaction.*
```

| ns/op | op/s | err% | total | benchmark
|--------------------:|--------------------:|--------:|----------:|:----------
| 149,757.86 | 6,677.45 | 1.4% | 0.18 | `SignTransactionECDSA`
| 108,284.40 | 9,234.94 | 2.0% | 0.13 | `SignTransactionSchnorr`
Note that there are already signing benchmarks in the secp256k1 library, but `SignTransaction` does much more than just the cryptographical parts, i.e.:
* calculate the unsigned tx's `PrecomputedTransactionData` if necessary
* apply Solver on the prevout scriptPubKey, fetch the relevant keys from the signing provider
* perform the actual signing operation (for ECDSA signatures, that could be more than once due to low-R grinding)
* verify if the signatures are correct by calling `VerifyScript` (more than once currently, which is fixed by this PR)
so it probably makes sense to also have benchmarks from that higher-level application perspective.

What is Bitcoin Core?
Bitcoin Core connects to the Bitcoin peer-to-peer network to download and fully validate blocks and transactions. It also includes a wallet and graphical user interface, which can be optionally built.
Further information about Bitcoin Core is available in the doc folder.
License
Bitcoin Core is released under the terms of the MIT license. See COPYING for more information or see https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.
Development Process
The master branch is regularly built (see doc/build-*.md for instructions) and tested, but it is not guaranteed to be
completely stable. Tags are created
regularly from release branches to indicate new official, stable release versions of Bitcoin Core.
The https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gui repository is used exclusively for the development of the GUI. Its master branch is identical in all monotree repositories. Release branches and tags do not exist, so please do not fork that repository unless it is for development reasons.
The contribution workflow is described in CONTRIBUTING.md and useful hints for developers can be found in doc/developer-notes.md.
Testing
Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test on short notice. Please be patient and help out by testing other people's pull requests, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people lots of money.
Automated Testing
Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests for new code, and to
submit new unit tests for old code. Unit tests can be compiled and run
(assuming they weren't disabled in configure) with: make check. Further details on running
and extending unit tests can be found in /src/test/README.md.
There are also regression and integration tests, written
in Python.
These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: test/functional/test_runner.py
The CI (Continuous Integration) systems make sure that every pull request is built for Windows, Linux, and macOS, and that unit/sanity tests are run automatically.
Manual Quality Assurance (QA) Testing
Changes should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the code. This is especially important for large or high-risk changes. It is useful to add a test plan to the pull request description if testing the changes is not straightforward.
Translations
Changes to translations as well as new translations can be submitted to Bitcoin Core's Transifex page.
Translations are periodically pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the translation process for details on how this works.
Important: We do not accept translation changes as GitHub pull requests because the next pull from Transifex would automatically overwrite them again.
