d09d1cf1a267b1c5563d8876aa55c4e8f70f0562 qt, test: introduce FindInConsole function (Jarol Rodriguez)
Pull request description:
This PR refactors our GUI `apptests` so that it uses regex search to find values in our console/qtextedit output regardless if it is in `plaintext`, `html`, or `markdown`.
This introduces a new function `FindInConsole` which uses [QRegularExpression](https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qregularexpression.html) to search the output of the console. The function must be provided with a [perl compatible regex](https://www.debuggex.com/cheatsheet/regex/pcre) pattern which wants to match a single group. The function then returns the matched group. If no match is found, an empty `QString` is returned.
We then use this new function in `TestRpcCommand` to find the current `chain` value instead of reading with univalue.
This approach can apply to a wider variety of testing scenarios as we can reuse this function to search for values when the console output is exported in a different format than `plaintext`. As an example, A follow up PR will add tests for console resizing and needs to look for the size in `html` tags after exporting the console text with `toHtml()`.
