<!-- 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. -->
