Issue being fixed or feature implemented

feature_protx_version.py creates too many nodes and generates too many quorums, more than needed.

What was done?

Firstly, updated amount of nodes created on startup for feature_protx_version.py:
- 1 regular node, 5 MNs -> 1 regular node, 1 MNs
- Checking that adding more regular MNs after v19 doesn't break DKGs and IS/CLs: 3 nodes added instead 6
- 2 extra quorums are mined instead 5 to ensure that chainlocks works [only 2 active quorums for llmq test]
- reduced amount of blocks for v24 activation as test requires now 330 blocks for pre-v24 scenarious [used to be 450]

Secondly, avoided mining a block only to confirm a fee-funding output before it matters; it duplicated bump of mocktime + block generation.

Thirdly, moved bury_tx helper to DashTestFramework, fold the mocktime bump into it and use in feature_protx_version and feature_masternode_payout_shares.

How Has This Been Tested?

Walkthrough

The changes centralize transaction burial in DashTestFramework.bury_tx and an EvoNode helper. Functional tests replace repeated mocktime, block-generation, and confirmation code with these helpers. Dynamic masternode and EvoNode setup paths use the framework helper. The protx version test also reduces its test network, activation window, masternode iterations, and quorum iterations.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 7db7b

This change speeds up the ProTx version functional test by reducing its network topology, but the reduced setup may no longer exercise the required regular-masternode and EvoNode interactions. Resolve or explicitly accept this coverage gap before merging.

Comment thread test/functional/feature_protx_version.py Outdated
In case of chained or multiple transactions no need to mine block before each of them.
It is required only when this tx really expected to be mined.

MasternodeInfo.bury_tx needs the test object, a node index and a depth
This helper bury_tx make burying a transaction in one call on the framework:
    - bury_tx(node, txid) bumps mocktime by 10 minutes so the transaction is safe to include in a block
    - mines one block on that node
    - asserts the transaction got one confirmation and returns the block hash

feature_protx_version and feature_masternode_payout_shares uses helper bury_tx from DashTestFramework, which also asserts that the transaction actually made it into the block

Note: the rpc_netinfo.py uses BitcoinTestFramework so it has own helper for simplicity
Updated amount of nodes created on startup:
 - 1 regular node, 5 MNs -> 1 regular node, 1 MN
 - Checking that adding more regular MNs after v19 doesn't break DKGs and IS/CLs: 3 nodes added instead 6
 - 2 extra quorums are mined instead 5 to ensure that chainlocks works [only 2 active quorums for llmq test]

Final validation — GLM Flash + Sol

The PR preserves the intended initial topology of one controller node and one regular masternode while retaining funding for the two EvoNodes registered dynamically later. The transaction-burial refactor and reduced quorum generation introduce no actionable correctness issues, and both topology-related candidate findings are refuted by the framework implementation and established callers.
