refactor: VectorWriter and SpanReader without nVersion #28912

   The serialize version is unused, so remove it. This also allows to remove GCS_SER_VERSION and allows a scripted-diff to remove most of CDataStream.

    The field is unused, so remove it.
    
    This is also required for future commits.

12. scripted-diff: Use DataStream in most places

    The remaining places are handled easier outside a scripted-diff.
    
    -BEGIN VERIFY SCRIPT-
     sed --regexp-extended -i 's/CDataStream ([0-9a-zA-Z_]+)\(SER_[A-Z]+, [A-Z_]+_VERSION\);/DataStream \1{};/g' $( git grep -l CDataStream)
     sed -i 's/, CDataStream/, DataStream/g' src/wallet/walletdb.cpp
    -END VERIFY SCRIPT-

    What are the places where CDataStream is still needed after this and what will happen to these?
