block_connected: don't serialize block hash twice

In the validation:block_connected tracepoint, we call block->GetHash(),
which ends up calling CBlockHeader::GetHash(), executing around 8000
serialization instructions. We don't need to do this extra work, because
block->GetHash() is already called further up in the function. Let's
save that value as a local variable and re-use it in our tracepoint so
there is no unnecessary tracepoint overhead.
