607076d01b test: remove confusing `MAX_BLOCK_BASE_SIZE` (Sebastian Falbesoner)
4af97c74ed test: introduce `get_weight()` helper for CBlock (Sebastian Falbesoner)
a084ebe133 test: introduce `get_weight()` helper for CTransaction (Sebastian Falbesoner)
Pull request description:
This is a very late follow-up PR to #10618, which removed the constant `MAX_BLOCK_BASE_SIZE` from the core implementation about four years ago (see also #10608 in why it was considered confusing and superfluous).
Since there is also no point in still keeping it in the functional test framework, the PR switches to weight-based accounting on the relevant test code parts and use `MAX_BLOCK_WEIGHT` instead for the block limit checks. To prepare that, the first two commits introduce `get_weight()` helpers for the classes CTransaction and CBlock, respectively.
