test: slow down rescaning process
What changed, and why it matters
This commit only changes a test file. It adds code to generate extra blocks during a wallet rescan test so the rescanning process takes longer. There is no change to production Bitcoin Core code, no security fix, and no vulnerability.
No security action needed. This is a benign test-only change.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The diff modifies test/functional/wallet_importdescriptors.py by adding two generatetoaddress calls that create 1,000 blocks each before an existing threading barrier. This is purely a test infrastructure change intended to slow down the wallet rescanning process for testing purposes. No consensus, networking, wallet, or cryptographic code is affected.
