Instead of having a single NodeContext::shutdown member that is used both to
request shutdowns and check if they have been requested, use separate members
for each. Benefits of this change:
1. Should make code a little clearer and easier to search because it is easier
to see which parts of code are triggering shutdowns and which parts are just
checking to see if they were triggered.
2. Makes it possible for init.cpp to specify additional code to run when a
shutdown is requested, like signalling the m_tip_block_cv condition variable.
Motivation for this change was to remove hacky NodeContext argument and
m_tip_block_cv access from the StopRPC function, so StopRPC can just be
concerned with RPC functionality, not other node functionality.
Add `-ipcbind` option to `bitcoin-node` to listen on an IPC socket and accept
connections from other processes. In the future, there will be an `-ipcconnect`
option added to `bitcoin-wallet` and `bitcoin-node` to allow wallet and gui
processes to connect to the node and access it.
Example usage:
src/bitcoin-node -regtest -debug -ipcbind=unix
src/bitcoin-wallet -regtest -ipcconnect=unix info
src/bitcoin-gui -regtest -ipcconnect=unix
src/bitcoin-mine -regtest -ipcconnect=unix
The key module's functionality is not used by the kernel library, but
currently kernel users are still required to initialize the key module's
`secp256k1_context_sign` global as part of the `kernel::Context` through
`ECC_Start`.
The point of this was to be able to build bitcoin-tx and bitcoin-wallet without libevent, see #18504.
Now that we use our own implementation of urlDecode this is not needed anymore.

This change is mostly a refectoring that removes some code and gets rid of an
unnecessary layer of indirection after #27861
But it is not a pure refactoring since StartShutdown, AbortShutdown, and
WaitForShutdown functions used to abort on failure, and the replacement code
logs or returns errors instead.
Add NodeContext::shutdown variable and start using it to replace the
kernel::Context::interrupt variable. The latter can't easily be removed right
away but will be removed later in this PR.
Moving the interrupt object from the kernel context to the node context
increases flexibility of the kernel API so it is possible to use multiple
interrupt objects, or avoid creating one if one is not needed. It will also
allow getting rid of the kernel::g_context global later in this PR, replacing
it with a private SignalInterrupt instance in init.cpp
There is no change in behavior in this commit outside of unit tests. In unit
tests there should be no visible change either, but internally now each test
has its own interrupt variable so the variable will be automatically reset
between tests.
After initially being merged in #20487, it's no-longer clear that an
internal syscall sandboxing mechanism is something that Bitcoin Core
should have/maintain, especially when compared to better
maintained/supported alterantives, i.e firejail.
Note that given where it's used, the sandbox also gets dragged into the
kernel.
There is some related discussion in #24771.
This should not require any sort of deprecation, as this was only ever
an opt-in, experimental feature.
Closes#24771.
Cleaned up the init flow to make it more obvious when
the 'exit_status' value will and won't be returned.
This is because it was confusing that `AppInit` was
returning true under two different circumstances:
1) When bitcoind was launched only to retrieve the "-help"
or "-version" information. In this case, the app was
not initialized.
2) When the user triggers a shutdown. In this case,
the app was fully initialized.
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.

Since the kernel library no longer depends on the system file, move it
to the common library instead in accordance to the diagram in
doc/design/libraries.md.
This is an extraction of ArgsManager related functions from util/system
into their own common file.
Config file related functions are moved to common/config.cpp.
The background of this commit is an ongoing effort to decouple the
libbitcoinkernel library from the ArgsManager. The ArgsManager belongs
into the common library, since the kernel library should not depend on
it. See doc/design/libraries.md for more information on this rationale.
