ci: Add IWYU job

The change in `src/crypto/hex_base.cpp` is because GCC 14 is not
affected by an IWYU bug.
See: https://github.com/include-what-you-use/include-what-you-use/issues/1763.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a new automated CI (Continuous Integration) job that runs a tool called Include What You Use (IWYU) to check that source files include only the headers they actually need. It also makes minor supporting changes: adding a CI configuration, installing the IWYU tool, adjusting build scripts, adding a mapping file for IWYU, and removing an unused <tuple> header from one source file. There is no change to Bitcoin Core's runtime behavior, consensus rules, networking, wallet logic, or any user-facing functionality. It is purely a code-quality and tooling improvement.

Recommended action

No security action required. This is a normal infrastructure/code-quality commit. Reviewers may verify the CI job runs successfully and that the IWYU configuration does not inadvertently suppress legitimate warnings.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
