fa52e13ee8test: Remove struct.pack from almost all places (MarcoFalke)fa826db477scripted-diff: test: Use int.to_bytes over struct packing (MarcoFalke)faf2a975adtest: Use int.to_bytes over struct packing (MarcoFalke)faf3cd659atest: Normalize struct.pack format (MarcoFalke) Pull request description: `struct.pack` has many issues: * The format string consists of characters that may be confusing and may need to be looked up in the documentation, as opposed to using easy to understand self-documenting code. This lead to many test bugs, which weren't hit, which is fine, but still confusing. Ref: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/29400, https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/29399, https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/29363,fa3886b7c6, ... Fix all issues by using the built-in `int` helpers `to_bytes` via a scripted diff. Review notes: * For `struct.pack` and `int.to_bytes` the error behavior is the same, although the error messages are not identical. * Two `struct.pack` remain. One for float serialization in a C++ code comment, and one for native serialization.
