Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#27010: refactor: use Hash helpers for double-SHA256 calculations

87f11ef47fea31d51bcc3f5df68f78fb28e3d8dd refactor: use `Hash` helper for double-SHA256 calculations (Sebastian Falbesoner)

Pull request description:

  We have two helper templates `Hash(const T& in1)` and `Hash(const T& in1, const T& in2)` available for calculating the double-SHA256 hash of one object or two concatenated objects, respectively:

  b5868f4b1f/src/hash.h (L74-L89)

  This PR uses them in order to increase readability and simplify the code. As in #15294 (which inspired this PR, doing the same for RIPEMD160), the helper is not utilized in validation.cpp and  script/interpreter.cpp to avoid touching consensus-relevant code.
