3c06926cf2 refactor: index: use `AbortNode` in fatal error helper (Sebastian Falbesoner)
9ddf7e03a3 move ThreadImport ABC error to use AbortNode (furszy)
Pull request description:
It seems odd to return `EXIT_SUCCESS` when the node aborted execution due a fatal internal error
or any post-init problem that triggers an unrequested shutdown.
e.g. blocks or coins db I/O errors, disconnect block failure, failure during thread import (external
blocks loading process error), among others.

The background of this commit is an ongoing effort to decouple the
libbitcoinkernel library from code that is not strictly required by it.
The settings code belongs into the common library and namespace, since
the kernel library should not depend on it. See doc/design/libraries.md
for more information on this rationale.
Changing the namespace of the moved functions is scripted in the
following commit.
To avoid wasting processing power, we can skip blocks that occurred
before the wallet's creation time, since these blocks are guaranteed
not to contain any relevant wallet data.
This has direct implications (an speed improvement) on the underlying
blockchain synchronization process as well.
The reason is that the validation interface queue is limited to
10 tasks per time. This means that no more than 10 blocks can be
waiting for the wallet(s) to be processed while we are synchronizing
the chain (activating the best chain to be more precise).
Which can be a bottleneck if blocks arrive and are processed faster
from the network than what they are processed by the wallet(s).
Instead of storing and passing around fixed strings for the purpose of
an address, use an enum.
This also rationalizes the CAddressBookData struct, documenting all fields and
making them public, and simplifying the representation to avoid bugs like
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/26761#discussion_r1134615114 and make
it not possible to invalid address data like change addresses with labels.
