fac90e5261 test: Check that the GUI interactive reindex works (MarcoFalke)
faaaddaaf8 init: [gui] Avoid UB/crash in InitAndLoadChainstate (MarcoFalke)

Pull request description:

  `InitAndLoadChainstate` is problematic, when called twice in the GUI. This can happen when it returns a failure and the user selects an interactive reindex.

  There are several bugs that have been introduced since the last time this was working correctly:

  * The first one is a crash (assertion failure), which happens due to a cached tip block in the notifiications from the previous run. See https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/31346#discussion_r2207914726
  * The second one is UB (use-after-free), which happens because the block index db in the blockmanager is not reset. See https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/30965#discussion_r2207822121

  Fix both bugs by resetting any dirty state in `InitAndLoadChainstate`.

  Also, add a test, because I don't really want to keep testing this manually every time. (A failing test run can be seen in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/32979/checks)
