validation: Check chain tip is non-null in CheckFinalTx

...also update comments to remove mention of ::ChainActive()

From: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/20750#discussion_r579400663

> Also, what about passing a const reference instead of a pointer? I
> know this is only theoretical, but previously if the tip was nullptr,
> then Height() evaluated to -1, now it evaluates to UB
