refactor: Replace string chain name constants with ChainTypes
This commit effectively moves the definition of these constants
out of the chainparamsbase to their own file.

Using the ChainType enums provides better type safety compared to
passing around strings.

The commit is part of an ongoing effort to decouple the libbitcoinkernel
library from the ArgsManager and other functionality that should not be
part of the kernel library.

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.
