Merge #17070: wallet: Avoid showing GUI popups on RPC errors
facec1c643105d0ae74b5d32cf33d593f9e82a36 wallet: Avoid showing GUI popups on RPC errors (MarcoFalke)

Pull request description:

  RPC errors and warnings are shown as popups in the GUI instead of being returned to the RPC caller. For example,

  ```
  $ ./src/bitcoin-cli loadwallet $(pwd)/./test/functional/data/wallets/high_minversion/
  error code: -4
  error message:
  Wallet loading failed.
  ```

  gives me a GUI popup and no reason why loading the wallet failed.

  After this pull request:

  ```
  $ ./src/bitcoin-cli loadwallet $(pwd)/./test/functional/data/wallets/high_minversion/
  error code: -4
  error message:
  Wallet loading failed: Error loading /home/marco/workspace/btc_bitcoin_core/./test/functional/data/wallets/high_minversion/wallet.dat: Wallet requires newer version of Bitcoin Core

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 & stop Chain clients. Added in #14437.

  • Node — used by GUI to start & stop bitcoin node. Added in #10244.

  • Wallet — used by GUI to access wallets. Added in #10244.

  • Handler — returned by handleEvent methods 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.
