Pull request description:

  `struct.pack` has many issues:

  * The format string consists of characters that may be confusing and may need to be looked up in the documentation, as opposed to using easy to understand self-documenting code.

  This lead to many test bugs, which weren't hit, which is fine, but still confusing. Ref: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/29400, https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/29399, https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/29363, fa3886b7c69cbbe564478f30bb2c35e9e6b1cffa, ...

  Fix all issues by using the built-in `int` helpers `to_bytes` via a scripted diff.

  Review notes:

  * For `struct.pack` and `int.to_bytes` the error behavior is the same, although the error messages are not identical.
  * Two `struct.pack` remain. One for float serialization in a C++ code comment, and one for native serialization.
