Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#33819: mining: getCoinbase() returns struct instead of raw tx

48f57bb35b mining: add new getCoinbaseTx() returning a struct (Sjors Provoost)
d59b4cdb57 mining: rename getCoinbaseTx() to ..RawTx() (Sjors Provoost)

Pull request description:

  The first commit renames `getCoinbaseTx()` to `getCoinbaseRawTx()` to reflect that it returns a serialised transaction. This does not impact IPC clients, because they do not use the function name.

  The second commit then introduces a replacement `getCoinbase()` that provides a struct with everything clients need to construct a coinbase. This avoids clients having to parse and manipulate our dummy transaction.

  Deprecate but don't remove `getCoinbaseRawTx()`, `getCoinbaseCommitment()` and `getWitnessCommitmentIndex()`.

  After this change we can drop these deprecated methods, which in turn would allow us to clear the dummy transaction from the `getBlock()` result. But that is left for a followup to keep this PR focussed. See https://github.com/Sjors/bitcoin/pull/106 for an approach.

  Expand the `interface_ipc.py` functional test to document its usage.

Mining IPC
----------
- The `getCoinbaseTx()` method is renamed to `getCoinbaseRawTx()` and deprecated.
IPC clients do not use the function name, so they're not affected. (#33819)
- Adds `getCoinbaseTx()` which clients should use instead of `getCoinbaseRawTx()`. It
contains all fields required to construct a coinbase transaction, and omits the
dummy output which Bitcoin Core uses internally. (#33819)
