1db331ba764d27537d82abd91dde50fc9d7e0ff4 init: allow a new xor key to be written if the blocksdir is newly created (Cory Fields)
Pull request description:
This probably should've been included in #12653 when `-blocksdir` was introduced. Credit TheCharlatan for noticing that it's missing.
This guards against 2 processes running with separate datadirs but the same blocksdir. I didn't add `walletdir` as I assume sqlite has us covered there.
It's not likely to happen currently, but may be more relevant in the future with applications using the kernel. Note that the kernel does not currently do any dir locking, but it should.

src/node/
The src/node/ directory contains code that needs to access node state
(state in CChain, CBlockIndex, CCoinsView, CTxMemPool, and similar
classes).
Code in src/node/ is meant to be segregated from code in
src/wallet/ and src/qt/, to ensure wallet and GUI
code changes don't interfere with node operation, to allow wallet and GUI code
to run in separate processes, and to perhaps eventually allow wallet and GUI
code to be maintained in separate source repositories.
As a rule of thumb, code in one of the src/node/,
src/wallet/, or src/qt/ directories should avoid
calling code in the other directories directly, and only invoke it indirectly
through the more limited src/interfaces/ classes.
This directory is at the moment
sparsely populated. Eventually more substantial files like
src/validation.cpp and
src/txmempool.cpp might be moved there.
