wallet: Make CWalletTx::tx private and use CWalletTx::GetTx to access

When CWalletTx will have multiple transactions, tx will no longer exist
and accessing the single canonical tx should be done through an getter
function.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This is a routine internal code cleanup in Bitcoin Core's wallet module. It makes the transaction pointer inside a wallet transaction object private and forces the rest of the code to read it through a getter function. There is no security fix here; the change prepares the code for a future feature where a wallet transaction might hold more than one transaction.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as normal refactoring. Reviewers may optionally verify that all wtx.tx accesses were replaced and that GetTx() returns the same reference previously exposed directly.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
