The assumevalid decision now gates more than script verification.

Rename the local reason pointer and the cached logged reason before changing behavior so the follow-up commits can stay focused.
The assumevalid gate already decides when old blocks on the assumed-valid chain can skip script checks.

Use that same decision to skip BIP30 overwrite checks while connecting those blocks.

Extend `feature_assumevalid.py` with a duplicate coinbase so the skipped and enforced BIP30 paths are covered.
Assumevalid skips script checks for buried blocks on the assumed-valid chain.

Skip contextual block sigops counting under the same gate, while leaving the context-free legacy sigops check in `CheckBlock()` unchanged.

Extend `feature_assumevalid.py` with P2SH sigops so the assumed-valid block exercises `ConnectBlock()` sigops counting and the post-assumevalid child proves sigops are enforced again.
The assumevalid gate now covers more than script verification.

Update the help text, logs, comments, and functional-test expectations to describe script, BIP30, and sigops checks together.
