fa6f402bde146f92ed131e0c9c8e15a55e723307 Call node->initError instead of InitError from GUI code (Russell Yanofsky)
fad2502240a1c440ef03ac3f880475702e418275 init: Use InitError for all errors in bitcoind/qt (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
Using the same InitError for startup error in the daemon and the gui makes it possible to run the tests with the gui again:
```sh
BITCOIND=bitcoin-qt ./test/functional/test_runner.py feature_includeconf feature_config_args

utACK fa6f402bde146f92ed131e0c9c8e15a55e723307. Only changes since last review are removing more includes and adding Node::initError method to avoid accessing node `InitError` function and global variables from GUI code.

Internal c++ interfaces
The following interfaces are defined here:
-
Chain— used by wallet to access blockchain and mempool state. Added in #14437, #14711, #15288, and #10973. -
ChainClient— used by node to start & stopChainclients. Added in #14437. -
Node— used by GUI to start & stop bitcoin node. Added in #10244. -
Handler— returned byhandleEventmethods on interfaces above and used to manage lifetimes of event handlers. -
Init— used by multiprocess code to access interfaces above on startup. Added in #10102.
The interfaces above define boundaries between major components of bitcoin code (node, wallet, and gui), making it possible for them to run in different processes, and be tested, developed, and understood independently. These interfaces are not currently designed to be stable or to be used externally.
