a3cd7dbfd8200c580aae9ea0f5473d58107dd582 test: stop node before calling assert_start_raises_init_error (Martin Zumsande)
Pull request description:
In #24789, I forgot to stop the node before using `assert_start_raises_init_error` in `feature_coinstatsindex`. This resulted in a bitcoind process that is not being terminated after the test finishes.
`feature_prune` has the same problem and also creates a zombie bitcoind process.
Also adds an assert to `assert_start_raises_init_error` to make sure the node isn't already running to prevent this sort of mistake in the future.

2ce7b47958c4a10ba20dc86c011d71cda4b070a5 test: introduce `tx_from_hex` helper for tx deserialization (Sebastian Falbesoner)
Pull request description:
There are still many functional tests that perform conversions from a hex-string to a message object (deserialization) manually. This PR identifies all those instances and replaces them with a newly introduced helper `tx_from_hex`.
Instances were found via
* `git grep "deserialize.*BytesIO"`
and some of them manually, when it were not one-liners.
Further, the helper `ToHex` was removed and simply replaced by `.serialize().hex()`, since now both variants are in use (sometimes even within the same test) and using the helper doesn't really have an advantage in readability.

c055f6b216659b844c8dcd4ff2a977f181099678 test: Remove false coinstatsindex test (Fabian Jahr)
Pull request description:
This test never actually tested the behavior that it describes in the comments. This was discovered in #21590 which seems to speed up muhash which lead to the test failing.
I can vaguely remember that the described behavior was desired by some reviewers of `coinstatsindex`: That `coinstatsindex` should be aware of stale blocks and able to return statistics on them as well. The index actually does this for blocks that it sees while the index is active, i.e. while running `coinstatsindex` all blocks will be indexed and even when they become stale the index (via `gettxoutsetinfo`) will still return a result for them when given the right hash. But this currently does not work for blocks that the node saw and that became stale _before_ the node activated `coinstatsindex`. While the index syncs initially everything but the active chain is ignored and I don't see any indication that this ever worked differently in the past.
Introducing this behavior seems non-trivial at first glance so, while I will give this a shot, I think the test should be removed so it does not confuse users and does not block #21590.

Pull request description:
Sync the blocks before invalidating them to ensure all nodes are on the right tip. Otherwise nodes[0] might stay on the "stale" block and the test fails (intermittently)

It's highly unlikely the test will ever deal with chains with >4500
blocks, so only the subset of the subsidy logic that is needed to
validate `gettxoutsetinfo` output has been included
