P2SH and Segwit have been activated on Namecoin for a long time now. Upstream Bitcoin enforces those script flags (plus Taproot which is not yet active on Namecoin) now unconditionally on the full block history, except for certain specific blocks that would fail. In Namecoin, actually all old blocks validate with P2SH and Segwit. Thus this changes GetBlockScriptFlags to always turn on P2SH and Segwit, which tidies up / simplifies things and also brings the code more in line with upstream.
Since script verification enforces segwit always now (without taking activation into account), we can no longer check for cases where transactions breaking segwit would be allowed pre-activation. This simplifies name_segwit.py, and makes it now just double-check that segwit is indeed enforced as it should be, as well as that generally names on segwit addresses work.

@JeremyRand please take a look, let me know what you think, and help double-check that I'm not doing something stupid here (like accidentally turning off segwit, although the regtest would catch that). |

Upstream Bitcoin Core now enforces P2SH + Segwit + Taproot for all script verification, including old blocks, except for two blocks that actually fail those checks. On Namecoin, P2SH + Segwit (but not Taproot) are active for a long time as well, and actually all historic blocks validate with those rules according to my tests.
This change updates the code to enforce P2SH + Segwit for all scripts, independent of the fork activation. That simplifies things and brings the code more in line with upstream.
