mempool: Store iterators into mapTx in mapNextTx

This takes the same amount of space as CTransaction pointers, and saves a map
lookup in many common uses.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a small internal cleanup in Bitcoin Core's memory pool (mempool) data structure. It changes how the mempool tracks which transaction spends a given coin: instead of storing a pointer to the transaction and then looking it up again in another table, it now stores an iterator directly into that table. This removes a few redundant lookups and simplifies some code paths. There is no indication this fixes a security bug or introduces a vulnerability.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal code-quality/performance refactor during routine review.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
