This is just the first of multiple settings that will be stored in the bitcoin
persistent setting file and shared with bitcoind, instead of being stored as Qt
settings backed by the windows registry or platform specific config files which
are ignored by bitcoind.

252f363f2feff243cae47731d59dfa1b74dd4386 qt: Replace `QCoreApplication::quit()` with `QCoreApplication::exit(0)` (Hennadii Stepanov)
Pull request description:
### Qt 5:
- no behavior change.
See https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtbase.git/tree/src/corelib/kernel/qcoreapplication.cpp?h=5.15#n2012:
```cpp
void QCoreApplication::quit()
{
exit(0);
}
```
### Qt 6:
- this change avoids sending a duplicated `QEvent::Quit`
We use `QEvent::Quit` to [handle](https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gui/pull/547) macOS dock menu events. Qt 6 uses `QEvent::Quit` more [widely](89f7a2759c). We do not want a duplicated `QEvent::Quit` which fires `Assert(node.args);` in the [`Shutdown()`](d1b3dfb275/src/init.cpp (L200)) function.

6969b2bb98a2f44e1b51c905db92ec2e28345078 qt, test: use regex search in apptests (Jarol Rodriguez)
d09d1cf1a267b1c5563d8876aa55c4e8f70f0562 qt, test: introduce FindInConsole function (Jarol Rodriguez)
Pull request description:
This PR refactors our GUI `apptests` so that it uses regex search to find values in our console/qtextedit output regardless if it is in `plaintext`, `html`, or `markdown`.
This introduces a new function `FindInConsole` which uses [QRegularExpression](https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qregularexpression.html) to search the output of the console. The function must be provided with a [perl compatible regex](https://www.debuggex.com/cheatsheet/regex/pcre) pattern which wants to match a single group. The function then returns the matched group. If no match is found, an empty `QString` is returned.
We then use this new function in `TestRpcCommand` to find the current `chain` value instead of reading with univalue.
This approach can apply to a wider variety of testing scenarios as we can reuse this function to search for values when the console output is exported in a different format than `plaintext`. As an example, A follow up PR will add tests for console resizing and needs to look for the size in `html` tags after exporting the console text with `toHtml()`.

There are some mutable, global state variables that are currently reset
by UnloadBlockIndex such as pindexBestHeader which should be cleaned up
whenever the ChainstateManager is unloaded/reset/destructed/etc.
Not cleaning them up leads to bugs like a use-after-free that happens
like so:
1. At the end of a test, ChainstateManager is destructed, which also
destructs BlockManager, which calls BlockManager::Unload to free all
CBlockIndexes in its BlockMap
2. Since pindexBestHeader is not cleaned up, it now points to an invalid
location
3. Another test starts to init, and calls LoadGenesisBlock, which calls
AddToBlockIndex, which compares the genesis block with an invalid
location
4. Cute puppies perish by the hundreds
Previously, for normal codepaths (e.g. bitcoind), we relied on the fact
that our program will be unloaded by the operating system which
effectively resets these variables. The one exception is in QT tests,
where these variables had to be manually reset.
Since now ChainstateManager is no longer a global, we can just put this
logic in its destructor to make sure that callers are always correct.
Over time, we should probably move these mutable global state variables
into ChainstateManager or CChainState so it's easier to reason about
their lifecycles.
I'd previously attempted to create a specialized lock for ChainstateManager,
but it turns out that because that lock would be required for functions like
ChainActive() and ChainstateActive(), it created irreconcilable lock inversions
since those functions are used so broadly throughout the codebase.
Instead, I'm just using cs_main to protect the contents of g_chainman.
