test: Make blockencodings_tests deterministic

refactor: CBlockHeaderAndShortTxIDs constructor now always takes an explicit nonce.
test: Make blockencodings_tests deterministic using fixed seed providing deterministic
CBlockHeaderAndShortTxID nonces and dummy transaction IDs.

Fixes very rare flaky test failures, where the ShortIDs of test transactions collide, leading to
`READ_STATUS_FAILED` from PartiallyDownloadedBlock::InitData and/or `IsTxAvailable` giving `false`
when the transaction should actually be available.

 * Use a new `FastRandomContext` with a fixed seed in each test, to ensure 'random' uint256s
   used as fake prevouts are deterministic, so in-turn test txids and short IDs are deterministic
   and don't collide causing very rare but flaky test failures.
 * Add new test-only/internal initializer for `CBlockHeaderAndShortTxIDs` that takes a specified
   nonce to further ensure determinism and avoid rare but undesireable short ID collisions.
   In a test context this nonce is set to a fixed known-good value. Normally it is random, as
   previously.

Flaky test failures can be reproduced with:

```patch
diff --git a/src/blockencodings.cpp b/src/blockencodings.cpp
