log: separate script verification reasons

Replace `fScriptChecks` with `script_check_reason` and log the precise reason when checks are enabled; log a plain "Disabling" when they are skipped.
Adjust the functional test to assert the new reason strings.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This change only improves logging messages. It replaces a simple on/off flag with a descriptive reason for why Bitcoin Core enables or skips script verification when connecting blocks. No security behavior is changed; the same decisions are made, but the log output now explains them.

Recommended action

No security action needed. This is a logging-only refactor.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
