fab6d060ce test: Add unregister_validation_interface_race test (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
When a validationinterface has itself unregistered in one thread, but is about to get executed in another thread [1], there is a race:
* The validationinterface destructing itself
* The validationinterface getting dereferenced for execution
[1] 64139803f1/src/validationinterface.cpp (L82-L83)
This happens in the miner. More generally it happens everywhere where at least one thread is generating notifications and another one is unregistering a validationinterface.
This issue has been fixed in commit ab31b9d6fe, but the fix has not been applied to the miner.
Example where this happened in practice: https://travis-ci.org/github/bitcoin/bitcoin/jobs/675322230#L4414
