Remove dead PoW mining code to reduce antivirus false positives

Strip getwork, getworkex, getblocktemplate, submitblock RPC commands
and their helper functions (SHA256Transform, FormatHashBlocks,
FormatHashBuffers, IncrementExtraNonce, CheckWork) which have been
dead code since PoW ended at block 9000. AV engines pattern-match
these nonce-incrementing loops and mining pool interfaces as
cryptominer signatures. Block validation (CheckProofOfWork) and
Hash9 algorithm files are preserved - only block *creation* for
PoW mining is removed. PoS staking code is untouched.
