refactor: Delete ChainstateManager::IsSnapshotValidated() method

IsSnapshotValidated() is only called one place outside of tests, and is use
redundantly in some tests, asserting that a snapshot is not validated when a
snapshot chainstate does not even exist. Simplify by dropping the method and
checking Chainstate m_assumeutxo field directly.
