pyln-testing: introduce canned blocks support to bitcoind fixture.

We have to add a send_and_mine_block() for cases where we want to get
a txid and then mine it (for canned blocks, we mine it then figure out
which tx it was!).

And fix up out-by-one in saving blocks.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a testing-only feature called 'canned blocks' to the Core Lightning Python test framework. It lets developers replay pre-recorded Bitcoin blocks during tests instead of generating new ones, and fixes an off-by-one bug when saving blocks. There is no change to production code or to how real users' funds or nodes are secured.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal test-infrastructure improvement.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
