b623fab1bamining: enforce minimum reserved weight for IPC (Sjors Provoost)d3e49528d4mining: fix -blockreservedweight shadows IPC option (Sjors Provoost)418b7995ddtest: have mining template helpers return None (Sjors Provoost) Pull request description: Also enforce `MINIMUM_BLOCK_RESERVED_WEIGHT` for IPC clients. The `-blockreservedweight` startup option should only affect RPC code, because IPC clients (currently) do not have a way to signal their intent to use the node default (the `BlockCreateOptions` struct defaults merely document a recommendation for client software). Before this PR however, if the user set `-blockreservedweight` then `ApplyArgsManOptions` would cause the `block_reserved_weight` option passed by IPC clients to be ignored. _Users who don't set this value were not affected._ Fix this by making BlockCreateOptions::block_reserved_weight an std::optional. Internal interface users, such as the RPC call sites, don't set a value so -blockreservedweight is used. Whereas IPC clients do set a value which is no longer ignored. Test coverage is added, with a preliminary commit that refactors the `create_block_template` and `wait_next_template` helpers. `mining_basic.py` already ensured `-blockreservedweight` is enforced by mining RPC methods. The second commit adds coverage for Mining interface IPC clients. It also verifies that `-blockreservedweight` has no effect on them. The third commit enforces `MINIMUM_BLOCK_RESERVED_WEIGHT` for IPC clients. Previously lower values were quietly clamped. --- Merge order preference: #34452 should ideally go first.

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.
