Merge #20921: validation: don't try to invalidate genesis block in CChainState::InvalidateBlock

787df19b09babf50dd8124b3ac990b29c33cfe93 validation: don't try to invalidate genesis block (Sebastian Falbesoner)

Pull request description:

  In the block invalidation method (`CChainState::InvalidateBlock`), the code for creating the candidate block map assumes that the passed block's previous block (`pindex->pprev`) is available and otherwise segfaults due to null-pointer deference in `CBlockIndexWorkComparator()` (see analysis by practicalswift in #20914), i.e. it doesn't work with the genesis block. Rather than analyzing all possible code paths and implications for this corner case, simply fail early if the genesis block is passed.

  Fixes #20914.
