(Partial) Merge #21053: rpc, test: document {previous,next}blockhash as optional

ba7e17e073f833eccd4c7c111ae9058c3f123371 rpc, test: document {previous,next}blockhash as optional (Sebastian Falbesoner)

Pull request description:

  This PR updates the result help of the following RPCs w.r.t. the `previousblockhash` and `nextblockhash` fields:
  - getblockheader
  - getblock

  Also adds trivial tests on genesis block (should not contain "previousblockhash") and best block (should not contain "nextblockhash").

Top commit has no ACKs.
