test: move and simplify BOOST_CHECK ostream helpers

Move the operator<< overloads used by BOOST_CHECK_* out of the
unit test machinery test/setup_common, into test/util/common.h.

And replace the individual per-type ToString() overloads with
a single concept-constrained template that covers any type
exposing a ToString() method. This is important to not add
uint256.h and transaction_identifier.h dependencies to the
shared test/util/common.h file.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a pure test-code refactoring. It moves helper functions that let Boost test macros print custom Bitcoin types (like transaction IDs and 256-bit numbers) into a shared test header, and replaces several specific helpers with one generic template. It does not change any production code, network behavior, or wallet logic, and it introduces no security fix or vulnerability.

Recommended action

No security action needed. Treat as normal code hygiene / refactoring.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
