included-flags convention.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit only changes a test file in btcd. It adds helper functions so that btcd's transaction-script test runner can understand newer Bitcoin Core test vectors marked 'BADTX' (context-free invalid transactions). No production code is modified, so this cannot directly affect live Bitcoin nodes or wallets.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as routine test maintenance. Reviewers may optionally verify that checkTxSanity's logic matches blockchain package equivalents, but this is only for test correctness.

Security signals we found

01

No production code paths changed

02

Test-only reference-vector alignment with upstream Bitcoin Core semantics

03

Adds context-free sanity checks duplicated from blockchain package to avoid import cycle in tests
