Pull request description:

  Top level `const` in declarations is problematic for many reasons:

  * It is often a typo, where one wanted to denote a const reference. For example `bool PSBTInputSignedAndVerified(const PartiallySignedTransaction psbt, ...` is missing the `&`. This will create a redundant copy of the value.
  * In constructors it prevents move construction.
  * It can incorrectly imply some data is const, like in an imaginary example `std::span<int> Shuffle(const std::span<int>);`, where the `int`s are *not* const.
  * The compiler ignores the `const` from the declaration in the implementation.
  * It isn't used consistently anyway, not even on the same line.

  Fix some issues by:

  * Using a const reference to avoid a copy, where read-only of the value is intended. This is only done for values that may be expensive to copy.
  * Using move-construction to avoid a copy
  * Applying `readability-avoid-const-params-in-decls` via clang-tidy
