...instead of explicitly calling init::{Set,Unset}Globals.
Cool thing about this is that in both the testing and bitcoin-chainstate
codepaths, we no longer need to explicitly unset globals. The
kernel::Context goes out of scope and the globals are unset
"automatically".
Also construct kernel::Context outside of AppInitSanityChecks()
f9fdcec7e9 settings: Add resetSettings() method (Ryan Ofsky)
77fabffef4 init: Remove Shutdown() node.args reset (Ryan Ofsky)
0e55bc6e7f settings: Add update/getPersistent/isIgnored methods (Ryan Ofsky)
Pull request description:
Add `interfaces::Node` `updateSetting`, `forceSetting`, `resetSettings`, `isSettingIgnored`, and `getPersistentSetting` methods so GUI is able to manipulate `settings.json` file and use and modify node settings.
(Originally this PR also contained GUI changes to unify bitcoin-qt and bitcoind persistent settings and call these methods, but the GUI commits have been dropped from this PR and moved to bitcoin-core/gui/pull/602)

fa4ee53dca Do not pass time getter to Chainstate helpers (MacroFake)
Pull request description:
It seems confusing to pass chain params, consensus params, or a time function around when it is not needed.
Fix this by:
* Inlining the passed time getter function. I don't see a use case why this should be mockable.
* Using `chainman.GetConsensus()` or `chainman.GetParams()`, where possible.

Allows the GUI to clear settings.json file and save settings.json.bak file when
GUI "Reset Options" button is pressed or -resetguisettings command line option
is used. (GUI code already backs up and resets the "guisettings.ini" file this
way, so this just makes the same behavior possible for "settings.json")
Add interfaces::Node methods to give GUI finer grained control over
settings.json file. Update method is used to write settings to the file,
getPersistent and isIgnored methods are used to find out about settings
file and command line option interactions.
