Merge #16551: test: Test that low difficulty chain fork is rejected
Backport notice:
 - data have real blocks from testnet
 - due to big gap in blocks before checkpoints (half-year) for sack of this test is added one more checkpoint, otherwise blocks are not accepted due to non-mockable time for other chains except regtest
 - data for 2 blocks in split chain are generated locally for testnet

Pull request description:

  To prevent OOM, Bitcoin Core will reject chain forks at low difficulty by default. This is the only use-case of checkpoints, so add a test for it to make sure the feature works as expected. If it didn't work, checkpoints would have no use-case and we might as well remove them
