Looks like a case was missed in PR #35543 that introduced the utility xprv

Also, unify how to avoid the creation of the default wallet in nodes.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit only changes Bitcoin Core's internal functional test code. It replaces hard-coded test keys and addresses with ones generated from a new test helper class, and unifies how tests tell nodes not to create a default wallet. There is no change to the actual Bitcoin Core software that users run, so it cannot affect live wallets, transactions, or network security.

Recommended action

No security action needed. Treat as ordinary test-maintenance cleanup.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
