test: introduce ExtendedPrivateKey and ExtendedPublicKey classes

Using these classes allows the developers to dynamically create
xprvs and xpubs so that they don't need to hardcode such long keys
in the tests that most of the times clutter the tests and make them
difficult to update.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a new test-only helper file that implements BIP32-style extended private and public keys for Bitcoin Core's functional test framework. It is purely test infrastructure code and does not change any production wallet, consensus, or networking logic. There is no security-relevant change to the Bitcoin Core software that users run.

Recommended action

No security action required. Review as normal test-framework code if desired.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
