Rather than manually estimating an input's weight by adding up all the
involved components (fixed-size skeleton, compact-serialized lengths,
and the actual scriptSig / witness stack items) we can simply take use
of the serialization classes `CTxIn` / `CTxInWitness` instead, to
achieve the same with significantly less code.
The new helper is used in the functional tests rpc_psbt.py and
wallet_send.py, where the previous manual estimation code was
duplicated.
In functional tests it is a quite common scenario to generate fresh
elliptic curve keypairs, which is currently a bit cumbersome as it
involves multiple steps, e.g.:
privkey = ECKey()
privkey.generate()
privkey_wif = bytes_to_wif(privkey.get_bytes())
pubkey = privkey.get_pubkey().get_bytes()
Simplify this by providing a new `generate_keypair` helper function that
returns the private key either as `ECKey` object or as WIF-string
(depending on the boolean `wif` parameter) and the public key as
byte-string; these formats are what we mostly need (currently we don't
use `ECPubKey` objects from generated keypairs anywhere).
With this, most of the affected code blocks following the pattern above
can be replaced by one-liners, e.g.:
privkey, pubkey = generate_keypair(wif=True)
Note that after this commit, the only direct uses of `ECKey` remain in
situations where we want to set the private key explicitly, e.g. in
MiniWallet (test/functional/test_framework/wallet.py) or the test for
the signet miner script (test/functional/tool_signet_miner.py).
The previous diff touched most files in ./test/, so bump the headers to
avoid having to touch them again for a bump later.

7851f14ccf rpc: incorporate review feedback from PR 17283 (Jon Atack)
Pull request description:
This PR builds on #17283 (now merged) and is followed by #17585.
It modifies the value returned by rpc getaddressinfo `labels` to an array of label name strings and deprecates the previous behavior of returning an array of JSON hash structures containing label `name` and address `purpose` key/value pairs.
before
```
"labels": [
{
"name": "DOUBLE SPEND",
"purpose": "receive"
}
```
after
```
"labels": [
"DOUBLE SPEND"
]
```
The deprecated behavior can be re-enabled by starting bitcoind with `-deprecatedrpc=labelspurpose`.

Reviewers: This PR may be tested manually by building, then running bitcoind with and without the `-deprecatedrpc=labelspurpose` flag while verifying the rpc getaddressinfo help text and `labels` output.
Next steps: deprecate the rpc getaddressinfo `label` field (EDIT: done in #17585) and add support for multiple labels per address. This PR will unblock those.
