Currently this code is not called in unit tests. Calling should make it
possible to write tests for things like IPC exceptions being thrown during

8a1765795fd3bff79d790102ca7cefa8fd9b204c use WalletContext scheduler for walletpassphrase callback (Matthew Zipkin)
Pull request description:
This removes the dependency on libevent for events scheduled by RPC commands, like re-locking a wallet some time after decryption with walletpassphrase. Since walletpassphrase is currently the only RPC that does this, `RPCRunLater`, `RPCTimerInterface` and all related methods are left unused, and deleted in the second commit. Any future RPC that needs to execute a callback in the future can follow the pattern in this PR and just use a scheduler from node or wallet context.
This is an alternative approach to #32796, described in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/32796#issuecomment-3014309449

Instead of having a single NodeContext::shutdown member that is used both to
request shutdowns and check if they have been requested, use separate members
for each. Benefits of this change:
1. Should make code a little clearer and easier to search because it is easier
to see which parts of code are triggering shutdowns and which parts are just
checking to see if they were triggered.
2. Makes it possible for init.cpp to specify additional code to run when a
shutdown is requested, like signalling the m_tip_block_cv condition variable.
Motivation for this change was to remove hacky NodeContext argument and
m_tip_block_cv access from the StopRPC function, so StopRPC can just be
concerned with RPC functionality, not other node functionality.
This is not strictly required, but all places using m_tip_block_cv
(except shutdown) already take the lock. The annotation makes it easier
to catch potential deadlocks before review.
Adding the missing lock to the shutdown sequence is a bugfix.
An alternative would be to take the lock and release it before
notifying, see
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/30967#discussion_r1778899716
Also signal m_tip_block_cv when StopRPC is called, for
consistency with g_best_block_cv. This is handled in
StopRPC instead of OnRPCStopped() because the latter
is deleted in a later commit.

Pull request description:
Remove `fees.h`, `errors.h`, and `spanparsing.h` from the util library. Specifically:
- Move `Split` functions from `util/spanparsing.h` to `util/string.h`, using `util` namespace for clarity.
- Move remaining spanparsing functions to `script/parsing.h` since they are used for descriptor and miniscript parsing.
- Combine `util/fees.h` and `util/errors.h` into `common/messages.h` so there is a place for simple functions that generate user messages to live, and these functions are not part of the util library.
Motivation for this change is that the util library is a dependency of the kernel, and we should remove functionality from util that shouldn't be called by kernel code or kernel applications. These changes should also improve code organization and make functions easier to discover. Some of these same moves are (or were) part of #28690, but did not help with code organization, or made it worse, so it is better to move them and clean them up in the same PR so code only has to change one time.

There are no changes to behavior. Changes in this commit are all additions, and
are easiest to review using "git diff -U0 --word-diff-regex=." options.
Motivation for this change is to keep util functions with really generic names
like "Split" and "Join" out of the global namespace so it is easier to see
where these functions are defined, and so they don't interfere with function
overloading, especially since the util library is a dependency of the kernel
library and intended to be used with external code.

Pull request description:
Closes https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/2960
Bitcoin Core's JSONRPC server behaves with a special blend of 1.0, 1.1 and 2.0 behaviors. This introduces compliance issues with more strict clients. There are the major misbehaviors that I found:
- returning non-200 HTTP codes for RPC errors like "Method not found" (this is not a server error or an HTTP error)
- returning both `"error"` and `"result"` fields together in a response object.
- different error-handling behavior for single and batched RPC requests (batches contain errors in the response but single requests will actually throw HTTP errors)
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/15495 added regression tests after a discussion in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/15381 to kinda lock in our RPC behavior to preserve backwards compatibility.
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/12435 was an attempt to allow strict 2.0 compliance behind a flag, but was abandoned.
The approach in this PR is not strict and preserves backwards compatibility in a familiar bitcoin-y way: all old behavior is preserved, but new rules are applied to clients that opt in. One of the rules in the [JSON RPC 2.0 spec](https://www.jsonrpc.org/specification#request_object) is that the kv pair `"jsonrpc": "2.0"` must be present in the request. Well, let's just use that to trigger strict 2.0 behavior! When that kv pair is included in a request object, the [response will adhere to strict JSON-RPC 2.0 rules](https://www.jsonrpc.org/specification#response_object), essentially:
- always return HTTP 200 "OK" unless there really is a server error or malformed request
- either return `"error"` OR `"result"` but never both
- same behavior for single and batch requests
If this is merged next steps can be:
- Refactor bitcoin-cli to always use strict 2.0
- Refactor the python test framework to always use strict 2.0 for everything
- Begin deprecation process for 1.0/1.1 behavior (?)
If we can one day remove the old 1.0/1.1 behavior we can clean up the rpc code quite a bit.

Avoid returning HTTP status errors for non-batch JSON-RPC 2.0 requests if the
RPC method failed but the HTTP request was otherwise valid. Batch requests
already did not return HTTP errors previously.

Pull request description:
The flag is problematic for many reasons:
* It is deprecated
* It is a global flag, requiring a restart to change, as opposed to a flag that can be set on each RPC invocation
* It may be hidden in config files by accident, hard to debug, causing LND crashes and bugs, see https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/28730#issuecomment-1780940868
* It makes performance improvements harder to implement: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/17529#issuecomment-556082818
Fix all issues by removing it.
If there is a use-case, likely a per-RPC flag can be added, if needed.

Use SignalInterrupt object instead. There is a slight change in behavior here
because the previous StartShutdown code used to abort on failure and the
new code returns an RPC error instead.

Since the kernel library no longer depends on the system file, move it
to the common library instead in accordance to the diagram in
doc/design/libraries.md.
OBJ_NAMED_PARAMS type works the same as OBJ type except it registers the object
keys to be accepted as top-level named-only RPC parameters. Generated
documentation also lists the object keys seperately in a new "Named arguments"

Named-only RPC parameters have the same semantics as python keyword-only
arguments (https://peps.python.org/pep-3102/). They are always required to be
passed by name, so they don't affect interpretation of positional arguments,
and aren't affected when positional arguments are added or removed.
The new OBJ_NAMED_PARAMS type is used in the next commit to make it easier to
pass options values to various RPC methods.

This is an extraction of ArgsManager related functions from util/system
into their own common file.
Config file related functions are moved to common/config.cpp.
The background of this commit is an ongoing effort to decouple the
libbitcoinkernel library from the ArgsManager. The ArgsManager belongs
into the common library, since the kernel library should not depend on
it. See doc/design/libraries.md for more information on this rationale.

Pull request description:
Make the JSON-RPC server reject requests with the same named parameter specified multiple times, instead of silently overwriting earlier parameter values with later ones.
Generally JSON keys are supposed to unique, and their order isn't supposed to be significant, so having the server silently discard duplicate keys is error-prone. Most likely if an RPC client is sending a request with duplicate keys it means something is wrong with the request and there should be an error.
After this change, named parameters are still allowed to specified multiple times on the `bitcoin-cli` command line, since `bitcoin-cli` automatically replaces earlier values with later values before sending the JSON-RPC request. This makes sense, since it's not unusual for the order of command line options to be significant or for later command line options to override earlier ones.

Specifying same named parameter multiple times is still allowed by bitcoin-cli.
The client implementation overwrites earlier option values with later ones
before sending to server. This is tested by interface_bitcoin_cli.py
Rationale for allowing client parameters to be specified multiple times in
bitcoin-cli is that this behavior has been supported for a long time, and that
when using the command line interactively, it can be convenient to override
earlier option values with new values without having to go back and remove the
old value.
But for the RPC server, there isn't really a good use-case for earlier values
to be discarded if multiple values are specified. JSON keys are generally
supposed to be unique and if they aren't it's probably an indication of some
problem generating the RPC request.
It's nice to be able to use named options and positional arguments together.
Most shell tools accept both, and python functions combine options and
arguments allowing them to be passed with even more flexibility. This change
adds support for python's approach so as a motivating example:
bitcoin-cli -named createwallet wallet_name=mywallet load_on_startup=1
Can be shortened to:
bitcoin-cli -named createwallet mywallet load_on_startup=1
JSON-RPC standard doesn't have a convention for passing named and positional
parameters together, so this implementation makes one up and interprets any
unused "args" named parameter as a positional parameter array.

e68d380797918e655decb76fc11725197d6d5323 rpc: remove unneeded RPCTypeCheckArgument checks (furszy)
55566630c60d23993a52ed54c95e7891f4588d57 rpc: treat univalue type check error as RPC_TYPE_ERROR, not RPC_MISC_ERROR (furszy)
Pull request description:
Same rationale as #26039, tackling another angle of the problem.
#### Context
We have the same univalue type error checking code spread/duplicated few times:
`RPCTypeCheckObj`, `RPCTypeCheckArgument`, `UniValue::checkType`.
In the first two functions, we are properly returning an `RPC_TYPE_ERROR` while in `UniValue::checkType`
we are throwing an `std::runtime_error` which is caught by the RPC server request handler, who invalidly
treats it as `RPC_MISC_ERROR` (which is a generic error return code that provides no information to the user).
#### Proposed Changes
Throw a custom exception from `Univalue::checkType` (instead of a plain
`std::runtime_error`) and catch it on the RPC server request handler.
So we properly return `RPC_TYPE_ERROR` (-3) on every arg type error and
not the general `RPC_MISC_ERROR` (-1).
This will allow us to remove all the `RPCTypeCheckArgument` calls. As them are redundant since #25629.
