Summary

This diffs fixes the assertions introduced in D3232 and adds a linter to
avoid reproducing the issue.

The fix is a backport of core PR14088
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/14088/files
The linter is based on the second commit, but integrated into arcanist.

Test Plan
./src/test/test_bitcoin -t scheduler_tests

Revert the changes in scheduler_tests and run:

arc lint -- src/test/scheduler_tests.cpp

The linter should catch the errors
