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* `IWallet.h` hasn't been touched since 2014, and has been replaced by `src/wallet/api/wallet2_api.h`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`
Currently working on an EPEE [ser/de]ialization library for Rust and at first glance, EPEE seemed to have support for optional wrappers. However, after looking into it, this feature appears to be half-baked and unused. Furthermore, adding support for optional values would be better suited to implement at the storage level, in my opinion. That would make parsing DOMs easier and less error-prone. If anyone is currently using this code, please comment. Thanks!

The integrated address functional test fails in the workflows due
to an assertion for missing payment id that is no longer needed.
Remove the assertion and update the assertion count.

- 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
