- `tx.rehash() replaced with `tx.get_id()`
- used helper functions `ToHex` and `FromHex`. `tx_from_hex` is not available due to missing backports.
- our limit for number of transactions in a package is 50. This leads to some minor logical differences in the tests, because where Core uses 24 transactions (an even number) we use 49 (an odd number). This leads to some asymetric chain transactions branches where the source material has symetric branches, and vice-versa.

This concludes backport of core#21800
