a93c171faaDrop unneeded nullptr check from CreateNewBlock() (Sjors Provoost)dd87b6dff3Have createNewBlock return BlockTemplate interface (Sjors Provoost) Pull request description: Suggested in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/29432#issuecomment-2225337100 An external program that uses the Mining interface may need quick access to some information in the block template, while it can wait a bit longer for the full raw transaction data. This would be the case for a Stratum v2 Template Provider which needs to send a [NewTemplate](https://github.com/stratum-mining/sv2-spec/blob/main/07-Template-Distribution-Protocol.md#72-newtemplate-server---client) message message (which doesn't include transactions) as quickly as possible. It does not include the serialized block transactions. ACKs for top commit: achow101: ACKa93c171faaryanofsky: Code review ACKa93c171faa.

src/node/
The src/node/ directory contains code that needs to access node state
(state in CChain, CBlockIndex, CCoinsView, CTxMemPool, and similar
classes).
Code in src/node/ is meant to be segregated from code in
src/wallet/ and src/qt/, to ensure wallet and GUI
code changes don't interfere with node operation, to allow wallet and GUI code
to run in separate processes, and to perhaps eventually allow wallet and GUI
code to be maintained in separate source repositories.
As a rule of thumb, code in one of the src/node/,
src/wallet/, or src/qt/ directories should avoid
calling code in the other directories directly, and only invoke it indirectly
through the more limited src/interfaces/ classes.
This directory is at the moment
sparsely populated. Eventually more substantial files like
src/validation.cpp and
src/txmempool.cpp might be moved there.
