Switching the endianness of a hex string `str` can simply be
achieved by `bytes.fromhex(str)[::-1].hex()`, i.e. we can use
that and remove those helper methods.

<!--
Please provide clear motivation for your patch and explain how it improves
Bitcoin Core user experience or Bitcoin Core developer experience
significantly:
* Any test improvements or new tests that improve coverage are always welcome.
* All other changes should have accompanying unit tests (see `src/test/`) or
functional tests (see `test/`). Contributors should note which tests cover
modified code. If no tests exist for a region of modified code, new tests
should accompany the change.
* Bug fixes are most welcome when they come with steps to reproduce or an
explanation of the potential issue as well as reasoning for the way the bug
was fixed.
* Features are welcome, but might be rejected due to design or scope issues.
If a feature is based on a lot of dependencies, contributors should first
consider building the system outside of Bitcoin Core, if possible.
* Refactoring changes are only accepted if they are required for a feature or
bug fix or otherwise improve developer experience significantly. For example,
most "code style" refactoring changes require a thorough explanation why they
are useful, what downsides they have and why they *significantly* improve
developer experience or avoid serious programming bugs. Note that code style
is often a subjective matter. Unless they are explicitly mentioned to be
preferred in the [developer notes](/doc/developer-notes.md), stylistic code
changes are usually rejected.

When bitcoind is running in pruned mode, producing a hashlist with `./linearize-hashes.py linearize.cfg > hashlist.txt` and then executing `linearize-data.py linearize.cfg` will produce:
```
Read 313001 hashes
Input file /home/dan/.bitcoin/blocks/blk00000.dat
Premature end of block data
```
This happens because `linearize-data` starts by attempting to process `blk00000.dat` regardless of whether or not `blk00000.dat` actually exists - this may not be the case if working with a pruned node.
This PR adds a function which finds the first block file that does exist, and calls that function when the `BlockDataCopier` is initialized.
This is a refactor of #16431.

Bitcoin Core has a thorough review process and even the most trivial change
needs to pass a lot of eyes and requires non-zero or even substantial time
effort to review. There is a huge lack of active reviewers on the project, so
patches often sit for a long time.

3284e6c09a scripts: search for next position of magic bytes rather than fail (Tim Akinbo)
Pull request description:
When using the `linearize-data.py` contrib script to export block data, there are edge cases where the script fails with an `Invalid magic: 00000000` error. This error occurs due to the presence of padding bytes that occasionally appears between consecutive blocks in the block data file.
There's an ongoing conversation about this in #14986. sipa also admitted that it is a bug in #5028. Fortunately, this is not an issue in bitcoin core as it handles this type of situation gracefully and so no fix in bitcoin core is required.
This PR is an improvement on how the script handles these "invalid magic bytes". Rather than failing, this patch allows the script to search for the next occurrence of the magic bytes and then starts reading the block from there.

Flagged by flake8 v3.6.0, as W605, plus a few others identified
incidentally, e.g. 59ffecf66cf4d08c4b431e457b083878d66a3fd6.
Note that r"\n" matches to "\n" under re.match/search.
- The last-timestamp-encountered variable wasn’t being used properly. Rewrite code to properly allow for new blockchain files to be written when split by month.
- Properly set a blockchain file’s access and modify times.
- Add a “debug output” option to quiet certain output that might not always be desirable.
- Update the README.
- Add a space after the fixed string prepended to file names when input or
output file changes
- Clarify the error message when the genesis block is not found in the
hash list (...why do we have this at all?)
Make it possible to read blocks in any order. This will be required
after headers-first (#4468), so should be merged before that.
- Read block header. For expected blocks, continue, else skip.
- For in-order blocks: copy block contents directly. Write prior
out-of-order blocks if this connects a consecutive span.
- For out-of-order blocks, store extents of block data for later
retrieval. Cache out-of-order blocks in memory up to 100MB
(configurable).
This was typically ensured implicitly by virtue of normal bitcoind
operation. Adding an explicit check provides a stronger guarantee, and
it is cheap to add.
Break into two steps:
* Generate hash list
* Build data file(s) from local bitcoind blocks/ directory.
This supports building one large bootstrap.dat, or multiple
smaller blocks/blkNNNNN.dat files.
