54011e7aa274bdc1b921440cc8b4623aa1e0d89e refactor: use CWallet const shared pointers when possible (Karl-Johan Alm)
96461989a2de737151bc4fb216221bf49cb53ce6 refactor: const shared_ptrs (Karl-Johan Alm)
Pull request description:
```C++
const std::shared_ptr<CWallet> wallet = x;
```
means we can not do `wallet = y`, but we can totally do `wallet->DestructiveOperation()`, contrary to what that line looks like.
This PR
* introduces a new convention: always use const shared pointers to `CWallet`s (even when we mutate the pointed-to thing)
* uses `const shared_ptr<const CWallet>` everywhere where wallets are not modified
In the future, this should preferably apply to all shared pointers, not limited to just `CWallet`s.
Both of these serve the same purpose: to dispell the misconception that `const shared_ptr<X>` immutates `X`. It doesn't, and it's dangerous to leave this misconception as is, for obvious reasons.
