refactor: Remove useless CBlock::GetBlockHeader

There is no need for a function to convert a CBlock to a CBlockHeader, as it's a child
class of it.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a simple code cleanup. It removes a helper function called GetBlockHeader that copied a few fields from a full block into a block header object. Because a full block already is a block header in this codebase, the function was unnecessary. All call sites now use the block directly instead of making a copy. There is no security-relevant change.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as ordinary refactoring.
