fuzz: Use NodeClockContext

This refactor does not change any behavior.

However, it is nice to know that no global mocktime leaks from the fuzz
init step to the first fuzz input, or from one fuzz input execution to
the next.
With the clock context, the global is re-set at the end of the context.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a test-only code cleanup. It replaces direct calls to a global mock-time setter with a local clock-context object in Bitcoin Core's fuzz tests. The change does not alter how the software behaves and only affects internal testing code, not the live Bitcoin network or user wallets.

Recommended action
