Given a block header, validate whether the proof of work is valid.
Non-mining nodes must be able to validate proof of work to check whether

A given block has a valid PoW claim
A new block has been added to the longest PoW chain

Since Monero frequently changes PoW parameters, this should be implemented as a trait with the following functions:

check_pow(data, pow_claim) -> bool //Is the data (usually block header) consistent with the PoW claim?
is_applicable_to_block(n: usize) -> bool //Is this PoW implementation used for this block height?

To close this issue, we just need to be able to mock the two functions, since the RandomX PoW stuff will be part of a larger effort / epic.
