Russell Yanofsky 288b4ffb6b Remove WalletLocation class 
This removes a source of complexity and indirection that makes it harder to
understand path checking code. Path checks will be simplified in upcoming
commits.

There is no change in behavior in this commit other than a slightly more
descriptive error message in `loadwallet` if the default "" wallet can't be
found. (The error message is improved more in upcoming commit "wallet: Remove
path checking code from loadwallet RPC".)

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.
