Actions:
1. Remove unused functions from misc_os_dependent.h
2. Move three remaining functions, get_gmt_time, get_ns_count, and get_tick_count into time_helper.h
3. Remove unused functions from time_helper.h
4. Refactor get_ns_count and get_internet_time_str and get_time_interval_string
5. Remove/add includes as needed

Here lies dozens of unused files. This commit is ONLY file deletions except
for the removing of a couple of #includes and removing filenames from CmakeLists
where appropriate.
All tests were conducted on the same PC (Ryzen 5 5600X running at fixed 4.65 GHz).
Before:
test_cn_fast_hash<32> (100000 calls) - OK: 1 us/call
test_cn_fast_hash<16384> (1000 calls) - OK: 164 us/call
After:
test_cn_fast_hash<32> (100000 calls) - OK: 0 us/call
test_cn_fast_hash<16384> (1000 calls) - OK: 31 us/call
More than 5 times speedup for cn_fast_hash.
Also noticed consistent 1-2% improvement in test_construct_tx results.
Implements view tags as proposed by @UkoeHB in MRL issue
https://github.com/monero-project/research-lab/issues/73
At tx construction, the sender adds a 1-byte view tag to each
output. The view tag is derived from the sender-receiver
shared secret. When scanning for outputs, the receiver can
check the view tag for a match, in order to reduce scanning
time. When the view tag does not match, the wallet avoids the
more expensive EC operations when deriving the output public
key using the shared secret.
* `IWallet.h` hasn't been touched since 2014, and has been replaced by `src/wallet/api/wallet2_api.h`
* `INode.h` is in a similar situation with `src/p2p/net_node.h`

- grab an lmdb db_rtxn_guard to ensure consistent data from the db
- fixed on_getblockhash error resp when requested height >= blockchain height
- left functions that read shared memory untouched for now
It avoids dividing by 8 when deserializing a tx, which is a slow
operation, and multiplies by 8 when verifying and extracing the
amount, which is much faster as well as less frequent
