Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#27287: test: Replace threading with concurrent.futures

fa0696e786 test: Replace threading with concurrent.futures (MarcoFalke)

Pull request description:

  `threading` has no easy way to get the return value or exception once the target function stops. Not checking the return value or exception can make tests more fragile and failures harder to debug.

  Fix this by checking the return value (or exception) by wrapping the function execution into a future and calling `result()` on it.

  Can be reviewed with `--ignore-all-space`.

  (There are still some uses of `threading` around, because some tests do expect an exception to be thrown and caught in the target function)
