Pull request description:
Fixes https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/32173
even though we have a distinction between `BLOCK_FAILED_VALID` and `BLOCK_FAILED_CHILD` in the codebase,
we don't use it for anything. Whenever we check for BlockStatus, we use `BLOCK_FAILED_MASK` which encompasses both of them.
Since there is no functional difference between `BLOCK_FAILED_VALID` and `BLOCK_FAILED_CHILD` and it's added
code complexity to correctly categorise them (ex: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/31405#discussion_r1914366243, https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/16856#issuecomment-565506585), we could just remove it.
Looking for conceptual feedback on whether it's better to improve handling of `BLOCK_FAILED_CHILD` in the codebase or remove `BLOCK_FAILED_CHILD`.
Of less relevance, but it would also fix a `reconsiderblock` crash that could happen in the situation mentioned in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/32173#issuecomment-2767030982
Similar attempt in the past in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/16856#issuecomment-568073859
