wallet: remove fUpdate argument from ScanForWalletTransactions

Only the unit test code passes false, the actual code passes
true always. I don't see a reason why the tests need to exercise
a behaviour that never happens in production.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This is a small code cleanup change in Bitcoin Core's wallet. It removes an optional argument called fUpdate from the ScanForWalletTransactions function because every real-world use passed true, while only test code ever passed false. The behavior in production is unchanged; the tests are simply adjusted to match the production behavior. There is no security issue here.

Recommended action

No security action needed. Treat as normal refactoring/code hygiene.
