Pull request description:

  This continues the work in #30200 so that a future Stratum v2 Template Provider (see #29432) can avoid accessing node internals. It needs to know when a new block arrives in order to push new templates to connected clients.

  `waitTipChanged()` uses a new kernel notification `notifications().m_tip_block_mutex`, which this PR also introduces (a previous version used `g_best_block`).

  In order to ensure the new method works as intended, the `waitfornewblock`, `waitforblock` and `waitforblockheight` RPC methods are refactored to use it. This allows removing `RPCNotifyBlockChange`.

  There's a commit to add (direct) tests for the methods that are about to be refactored:
  - `waitfornewblock` was already implicitly tested by `feature_shutdown.py`.
  - `waitforblockheight` by `feature_coinstatsindex.py` and `example_test.py`

  This PR renames `getTipHash()` to `getTip()` and returns a `BlockRef` (renamed from `BlockKey`) so that callers can use either the height or hash.

  The later commits make trivial improvements to the `waitfor*` RPC calls (not needed for this PR).

  The `waitTipChanged()` method could probably also be used for the longpoll functionality in `getblocktemplate`, but I'm a bit reluctant to touch that.

  `RPCServer::OnStarted` no longer does anything and `RPCServer::OnStopped` merely prints a log statement. They were added in #5711 as a refactor. This PR drops them entirely.

  Finally `g_best_block` is also dropped.
