Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#28118: test: Add SyncWithValidationInterfaceQueue to mockscheduler RPC

fabef121b0 refactor: Use EnsureAnyNodeContext (MarcoFalke)
fa1640617e test: Add SyncWithValidationInterfaceQueue to mockscheduler RPC (MarcoFalke)

Pull request description:

  There should be no risk or downside in adding a call to `SyncWithValidationInterfaceQueue` here. In fact, it will make tests less brittle. For example,

  * If one sets the timeouts in `test/functional/feature_fee_estimation.py` to `0`, on `master` the test will fail and here it will pass.
  * It may avoid a rare (theoretic) intermittent issue in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/28108/files#r1268966663
