fafe5042bd1b8c53faf3c0dfe40958f605666d67 refactor: Use C++20 std::identity over IntIdentity (MarcoFalke)

Pull request description:

This avoids issues like https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/35737 from passing CI in the first place.

Also, the rule can help to avoid ODR issues, according to https://clang.llvm.org/extra/clang-tidy/checks/fuchsia/header-anon-namespaces.html

This follows https://isocpp.github.io/CppCoreGuidelines/CppCoreGuidelines#sf21-dont-use-an-unnamed-anonymous-namespace-in-a-header

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This is a code cleanup change that turns on a static-analysis rule to prevent a specific C++ coding pattern (anonymous namespaces in header files) and updates two headers to comply. It does not change how Bitcoin Core behaves at runtime and does not fix an active security bug.

Recommended action

No action required. Treat as normal maintenance/refactor commit.
