fix: serialize block saves with template production

BCOS Checklist (Required For Non-Doc PRs)

• Add a tier label: BCOS-L1 or BCOS-L2 (also accepted: bcos:l1, bcos:l2)
• If adding new code files, include SPDX header near the top (example: # SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT)
• Provide test evidence (commands + output or screenshots)

What Changed

• Serialize BlockProducer.save_block() with the same producer lock used by block/template production.
• Add a focused concurrency regression proving a template/block production request waits for an in-flight save and then uses the newly committed head hash.

Why

Fixes #2587. Without this, a block template request can be built while save_block() is still committing the prior block and confirming its transactions, so the template may use a stale previous head under concurrent load.

Testing / Evidence

• .venv-bounty-validation/bin/python -m pytest -q node/tests/test_block_producer_template_lock.py node/tests/test_f10_block_save_atomicity.py --tb=short --noconftest -> 6 passed
• .venv-bounty-validation/bin/python -m py_compile node/rustchain_block_producer.py node/tests/test_block_producer_template_lock.py -> passed
• .venv-bounty-validation/bin/python -m ruff check node/tests/test_block_producer_template_lock.py -> passed
• python3 tools/bcos_spdx_check.py --base-ref origin/main -> BCOS SPDX check: OK
• git diff --check origin/main...HEAD -> passed
• hidden Unicode scan on changed files -> passed

Validation note: I also started the broad .venv-bounty-validation/bin/python -m pytest -q command requested by the local validation helper, but it produced no collection/test output after about 5 minutes and I terminated it. Full .venv-bounty-validation/bin/python -m ruff check . was also attempted and failed on existing repository-wide findings outside this patch, including files in the local validation venv. The focused checks above cover the changed block producer path.

I reviewed the block-template/save serialization change in node/rustchain_block_producer.py and the regression in node/tests/test_block_producer_template_lock.py.

Two technical observations:

• In save_block(), routing every call through with self._lock before _save_block_unlocked() is the right scope for this race: it covers both the SQLite block insert and the subsequent confirm_transaction(...) calls, so produce_block() cannot read the old chain head while the save is only half-committed.
• The test exercises the important interleaving instead of just asserting the lock exists: BlockingPool.confirm_transaction() holds the save path open, the producer thread is verified blocked, and after release the produced block's prev_hash must be saved-head. That directly proves new templates are based on the committed head.

I received RTC compensation for this review.

@MolhamHamwi Thanks for reviewing this. GitHub currently shows this as a comment-only review rather than a formal approval.

Could you re-review when you have a chance? If this looks good, a formal approval would help close out the review.
