The `PopulateAndValidateSnapshot` function introduced in
f6e2da5fb7 from #19806 has been setting fake
`nTx` and `nChainTx` values that can show up in RPC results (see #29328) and
make `CBlockIndex` state hard to reason about, because it is difficult to know
whether the values are real or fake.
Revert to previous behavior of setting `nTx` and `nChainTx` to 0 when the
values are unknown, instead of faking them.
This commit fixes at least two assert failures in the (pindex->nChainTx ==
pindex->nTx + prev_chain_tx) check that would happen previously. Tests for
these failures are added separately in the next two commits.
Compatibility note: This change could result in -checkblockindex failures if a
snapshot was loaded by a previous version of Bitcoin Core and not fully
validated, because fake nTx values will have been saved to the block index. It
would be pretty easy to avoid these failures by adding some compatibility code
to `LoadBlockIndex` and changing `nTx` values from 1 to 0 when they are fake
(when `(pindex->nStatus & BLOCK_VALID_MASK) < BLOCK_VALID_TRANSACTIONS`), but a
little simpler not to worry about being compatible in this case.

Pull request description:
This PR fixes typos found by lint-spelling.py using codespell 2.2.6.
Our CI linter job uses codespell 2.2.5 and found fewer typos that I did locally. In any case it's happy now.

The legacy serialization was vulnerable to maleation and is fixed by
adopting the same serialization procedure as was already in use for
MuHash.
This also includes necessary test fixes where the hash_serialized2 was
hardcoded as well as correction of the regtest chainparams.

621db2f004 test: assumeutxo file with unknown block hash (Fabian Jahr)
Pull request description:
Takes care of one of the open Todos in the assumeutxo functional test. Since an unknown block could be any hash, I simply chose one placeholder, it could also be a random string though.

- Remove usage of the internal wait_until_helper function
- Use framework self.no_op instead of new no_sync function

Current getchainstates RPC returns "normal" and "snapshot" fields which are not
ideal because it requires new "normal" and "snapshot" terms to be defined, and
the definitions are not really consistent with internal code. (In the RPC
interface, the "snapshot" chainstate becomes the "normal" chainstate after it
is validated, while in internal code there is no "normal chainstate" and the
"snapshot chainstate" is still called that temporarily after it is validated).
The current getchainstatees RPC is also awkward to use if you to want
information about the most-work chainstate because you have to look at the
"snapshot" field if it exists, and otherwise fall back to the "normal" field.
Fix these issues by having getchainstates just return a flat list of
chainstates ordered by work, and adding new chainstate "validated" field
alongside the existing "snapshot_blockhash" so it is explicit if a chainstate
was originally loaded from a snapshot, and whether the snapshot has been
validated.
