refactor: Use span instead of vector for data in util/asmap

This prevents holding the asmap data in memory twice.

The version hash changes due to spans being serialized without their size-prefix (unlike vectors).

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This is a code cleanup (refactor) change in Bitcoin Core. It replaces internal use of std::vector with std::span for asmap data so the same data isn't kept in memory twice, and updates the version-hash test value because the serialization format changed slightly. There is no security bug being fixed here.

Recommended action

No security action needed; treat as ordinary code-quality/performance refactor.
