util: Add Expected<void, E> specialization

This is not needed, but a bit closer to the std lib, because
std::monostate is no longer leaked through ValueType from the value()
method.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This is a small internal code cleanup in Bitcoin Core's utility library. It adds a dedicated specialization for 'Expected<void, E>' so that when no return value is needed, the code no longer exposes a placeholder type (std::monostate) through the public value() method. It also adds a couple of unit tests. There is no security fix, behavior change, or externally visible vulnerability addressed.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as normal code-quality/refactoring commit.
