refactor: Move LoadGenesisBlock to ChainstateManager

The function does not need anything from any chainstate, so it should
not sit in the Chainstate class.

Also, mark it [[nodiscard]], and the one place that ignores the return
value with (void).

Also, change the error log strings to not include the __func__, which is
redundant with -logsourcelocations. This is not a refactor, but this log
is only for debugging extremely rare errors.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a straightforward internal code reorganization: it moves the LoadGenesisBlock function from the Chainstate class to the ChainstateManager class, marks its return value as important to check, and slightly rewords two rare error log messages. There is no change to how Bitcoin Core validates blocks, handles transactions, or protects against attacks. It does not fix a security bug or introduce a known vulnerability.

Recommended action

No security action needed. Treat as normal refactoring during code review.

Security signals we found
