Russell Yanofsky 62252c95e5 interfaces: Stop exposing wallet destdata to gui

Stop giving GUI access to destdata rows in database. Replace with narrow
API just for saving and reading receive request information.

This simplifies code and should prevent the GUI from interfering with
other destdata like address-used status.

Note: No user-visible behavior is changing in this commit. New
CWallet::SetAddressReceiveRequest() implementation avoids a bug in
CWallet::AddDestData() where a modification would leave the previous
value in memory while writing the new value to disk. But it doesn't
matter because the GUI doesn't currently expose the ability to modify
receive requests, only to add and erase them.

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.
