Ava Chow 47c9297172 Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#32420: mining, ipc: omit dummy extraNonce from coinbase
d511adb664 [miner] omit dummy extraNonce via IPC (Sjors Provoost)
bf3b5d6d06 test: clarify getCoinbaseRawTx() comparison (Sjors Provoost)
78df9003d6 [doc] Update comments on dummy extraNonces in tests (Anthony Towns)

Pull request description:

  This PR changes the Mining IPC interface to stop including a dummy `extraNonce` in the coinbase `scriptSig` by default, exposing only the consensus-required BIP34 height. This simplifies downstream mining software (including Stratum v2), avoids forcing clients to strip or ignore data we generate, and reduces the risk of incompatibilities if future soft forks add required commitments to the `scriptSig`.

  Existing behavior is preserved for RPCs, tests, regtest, and internal mining by explicitly opting in to the dummy `extraNonce` where needed (e.g. to satisfy `bad-cb-length` at low heights), so consensus rules and test coverage are unchanged. The remainder of the PR consists of small comment fixes, naming clarifications, and test cleanups to make the intent and behavior clearer.
