test: update and re-enable trim headers functional test

The trim_headers test was previously moved to extended tests, and only
worked with legacy wallets. Update it to work with descriptor wallets,
and move it back to base scripts in functional tests.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit re-enables a functional test for a feature called 'trim headers' and makes a small wallet change so that anyone-can-spend outputs (OP_TRUE) are recognized as wallet funds on custom Elements chains when a special configuration flag is set. The main purpose appears to be test maintenance, not fixing an active security vulnerability. The wallet change could affect how funds are classified, but only in a specific, non-default configuration.

Recommended action

Review the OP_TRUE ownership change carefully: confirm it is gated only by the non-default anyonecanspend_aremine parameter, verify it does not inadvertently mark arbitrary OP_TRUE outputs as spendable on mainnet or other production chains, and ensure the re-enabled test passes reliably in CI.

Security signals we found

01

Wallet ownership classification changed for OP_TRUE outputs under -anyonecanspendaremine

02

Functional test re-enabled after being disabled/moved to extended suite

03

Legacy wallet dependency removed from test infrastructure
