Standardness rules are not the same as consensus rules and it is
important to keep clear separation between them, because standardness
rules can and do change, while the consensus rules must not change
without a specific vote, and even then, the old rules must be kept
around for validation of all blocks prior to any changes introduced by a
successful vote.
Prior to this commit, the blockchain code which enforces the consensus
rule that requires the second output of the coinbase transaction to
contain the height of the block in a provably pruneable nulldata script
push was relying on code in txscript/standard.go, which, as the name of
the file suggests, is specifically intended for code related to
standardness checks.
This introduces a new function in the txscript package named
ExtractCoinbaseNullData which does not rely on any of the code related
to standardness checks and modifies the blockchain code accordingly to
make use of the new function instead. It also removes the
standardness-dependent GetNullDataContent function which is no longer
used by anything.
Finally, it adds tests in the txscript package to ensure the new
function has the required semantics.
