Merge #19905: Remove dead CheckForkWarningConditionsOnNewFork

Browse Source 
fa7eed5be7 doc: Clarify that vpindexToConnect is in reverse order (MarcoFalke)
fa62304c97 Remove dead CheckForkWarningConditionsOnNewFork (MarcoFalke)

Pull request description:

  The function has several code and logic bugs, which prevent it from working at all:

  * `vpindexToConnect.back()` is passed to `CheckForkWarningConditionsOnNewFork`, which is the earliest connected block (least work block), *not* the new fork tip
  * `ActivateBestChainStep` will never try to connect a block that descends from an invalid block, so the invalid fork will only ever be of height 1, never hitting the 7 block minimum condition

  Instead of dragging the dead and wrong code around through every change in validation, remove it. In the future it could make sense to add a fork detection somewhere outside of the `ActivateBestChainStep` logic (maybe net_processing).

    utACK fa7eed5be7 I see that it's dead code
