Many options are extremely technical, and refer internals, making it
difficult to translate usefully. This came up in discussion of e.g.
#10949. If a message is not understood by translators (which are
typically end-users, not developers) they'll either translate it
literally, making it harder to understand instead of easier, with the
added drawback of the user no longer being able to google it.
Also the translation was only working for bitcoin-qt as with
the console programs, there is no translation backend. So it was
injecting never-used translation messages for bitcoin-cli, -tx.
For these reasons, stop translating options help completely. This should
not affect the output **in any way** except for bitcoin-qt when a
non-English language is configured in the locale.
This implements #10962.
Default `-printtoconsole` to false for the GUI. GUI programs should not
print to the console unnecessarily. For example, when launched by the
window manager, the output might end up in the X session log file,
resulting in duplicate logging. On Windows, it is pointless as well
because bitcoin-qt isn't a console application.

This does a bit of refactoring of the configuration handling code in order to add additional tests to make adding support for [test]/[regtest] sections in the config file in #11862 easier. Should not cause any behaviour changes.

Pull request description:
This continues the work of #7965. This PR, along with several others, would remove the remaining dependencies from libbitcoin_server.a on libbitcoin_wallet.a.
To create the interface, I've just translated all the old init.cpp wallet function calls into an interface class. I've not done any thinking about whether it makes sense to change that interface by combining/splitting those calls. This is a purely internal interface, so there's no problem in changing it later.

f38e4fd QA: Add -blocksdir test (Jonas Schnelli)
386a6b6 Allow to optional specify the directory for the blocks storage (Jonas Schnelli)
Pull request description:
Since the actual block files taking up more and more space, it may be desirable to have them stored in a different location then the data directory (use case: SSD for chainstate, etc., HD for blocks).
This PR adds a `-blocksdir` option that allows one to keep the blockfiles and the blockindex external from the data directory (instead of creating symlinks).
I fist had an option to keep the blockindex within the datadir, but seems to make no sense since accessing the index will (always) lead to access (r/w) the block files.

This commit creates a global g_wallet_init_interface, which is created
in bitcoind and bitcoin-qt. g_wallet_init_interface is used to init
and destroy the wallet.
This removes the dependency from init.cpp on the wallet library.

f5a4c3d qt: Make sure splash screen is freed on AppInitMain fail (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
Pull request description:
The `splashFinished` event was never sent if AppInitMain fails, causing the splash screen to stick around, causing problems later.
This bug has existed for a while but is now trigging potential crashed because the splash screen subscribes to wallet events.
Meant to fix#12372.

2222bf0 qt: Poll ShutdownTimer after init is done (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
The shutdown process has started in `requestShutdown`, but initialize will happily continue with `initializeResult` and start threads late in the shutdown progess. Deleting this running thread will crash the application according to the qt docs:
e5033a5c9b/src/corelib/thread/qthread.cpp (L412-L415)
Potential fix for https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/12372#issuecomment-363642332
This reverts #11831 for now and hopefully restores the previous behaviour.

9ad6746ccd Use static_cast instead of C-style casts for non-fundamental types (practicalswift)
Pull request description:
A C-style cast is equivalent to try casting in the following order:
1. `const_cast(...)`
2. `static_cast(...)`
3. `const_cast(static_cast(...))`
4. `reinterpret_cast(...)`
5. `const_cast(reinterpret_cast(...))`
By using `static_cast<T>(...)` explicitly we avoid the possibility of an unintentional and dangerous `reinterpret_cast`. Furthermore `static_cast<T>(...)` allows for easier grepping of casts.
For a more thorough discussion, see ["ES.49: If you must use a cast, use a named cast"](https://isocpp.github.io/CppCoreGuidelines/CppCoreGuidelines#es49-if-you-must-use-a-cast-use-a-named-cast) in the C++ Core Guidelines (Stroustrup & Sutter).

This resolves#12229 which pointed out a shutdown deadlock due to
scheduler/checkqueue having been shut down while network message
processing is still running.
This makes all include paths in the GUI absolute.
Many changes are involved as every single source file in
src/qt/ assumes to be able to use relative includes.
