Remove various assertions from BIP-174 test

The BIP-174 test case makes various assertions based on the test
vector from the BIP. Since we want to use low_r signing for PSBTs,
the signatures will be non-deterministic, and will thus not match the
BIP. Since this cascades, this requires the removal of various
assertions from the test case.

Remove test vector assertions that will fail with low_r ecdsa signing.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit only changes a test file. It removes some test assertions that compared the library's PSBT output against fixed BIP-174 test vectors, because the project is switching to a different default signature style (low_r) that produces different but still valid signatures. No production code is changed, and no security vulnerability is introduced or fixed.

Recommended action

No security action needed. Reviewers may want to confirm that the removed assertions are adequately replaced by functional checks elsewhere, but this is a normal test refactor.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
