3ba2840e7ee81341b0748c0121aedc2e9305041a scripted-diff: remove MakeUnique<T>() (fanquake)
Pull request description:
Since requiring C++17, this is just pointless abstraction. I think we should just "tear the band-aid off" and remove it. Similar to the changes happening in #21366.
Also, having a comment saying this is deprecated doesn't prevent it's usage in new code. i.e : https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/20946#discussion_r561949731.
The repository is fairly quiet at the moment, so any potential complaints about having to rebase should be minimal. Might as well get this over and done with.

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.
The src/node/ directory is a new directory introduced in
#14978 and at the moment is
sparsely populated. Eventually more substantial files like
src/validation.cpp and
src/txmempool.cpp might be moved there.
