Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#14604: tests: Add test and refactor feature_block.py

55311197c483477b79883da5da09f2bc71acc7cf Added new test for future blocks reacceptance (sanket1729)
511a5af4622915c236cfb11df5234232c2983e45 Fixed inconsistencies between code and comments (sanket1729)

Pull request description:

  This Commit does 3 things:
  1) Adds a test case for checking reacceptance a previously rejected block which
  was too far in the future.
  ~~2) clean up uses of rehash or calc_sha256 where it was not needed~~
  3) While constructing block 44, this commit makes the code consistent with the expected figure in
  the comment just above it by adding a transaction to the block.
  4) Fix comment describing `sign_tx()` function
