FUZZ: Test that BnB finds best solution

BnB’s solution is the input set with the lowest waste score, excluding
any supersets of other solution candidates.
This fuzz test compares a brute force search with the BnB result to
ensure that BnB succeeds.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a new automated fuzz test for Bitcoin Core's coin selection algorithm. It does not change any production wallet code, network behavior, or consensus rules. The test brute-forces small coin-selection problems and checks that the Branch-and-Bound (BnB) solver finds a minimum-waste solution. It is purely a testing/quality-assurance addition.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal QA/test-harness addition. Reviewers may optionally verify that the fuzz test's brute-force oracle correctly models BnB's waste metric and superset-exclusion rule.
