Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#26653: test, init: perturb file to ensure failure instead of only deleting them

c371cae07a7ba045130568b6abc470eaa4f95ef4 test, init: perturb file to ensure failure instead of only deleting them (brunoerg)

Pull request description:

  In `feature_init.py` there is a TODO about perturbing the files instead of only testing by deleting them.
  ```py
              # TODO: at some point, we should test perturbing the files instead of removing
              # them, e.g.
              #
              # contents = target_file.read_bytes()
              # tweaked_contents = bytearray(contents)
              # tweaked_contents[50:250] = b'1' * 200
              # target_file.write_bytes(bytes(tweaked_contents))
              #
              # At the moment I can't get this to work (bitcoind loads successfully?) so
              # investigate doing this later.
  ```

  This PR adds it by writing into the file random bytes and checking whether it throws an error when starting.
