- Settings updates were not thread-safe, as they were executed in
three separate steps:
1) Obtain settings value while acquiring the settings lock.
2) Modify settings value.
3) Overwrite settings value while acquiring the settings lock.
This approach allowed concurrent threads to modify the same base value
simultaneously, leading to data loss. When this occurred, the final
settings state would only reflect the changes from the last thread
that completed the operation, overwriting updates from other threads.
Fix this by making the settings update operation atomic.
- Add test coverage for this behavior.

To prepare for migrating wallets that are not loaded, when migration
occurs in the GUI, it should not rely on a WalletModel existing.

<!--
Please provide clear motivation for your patch and explain how it improves
Bitcoin Core user experience or Bitcoin Core developer experience
significantly:
* Any test improvements or new tests that improve coverage are always welcome.
* All other changes should have accompanying unit tests (see `src/test/`) or
functional tests (see `test/`). Contributors should note which tests cover
modified code. If no tests exist for a region of modified code, new tests
should accompany the change.
* Bug fixes are most welcome when they come with steps to reproduce or an
explanation of the potential issue as well as reasoning for the way the bug
was fixed.
* Features are welcome, but might be rejected due to design or scope issues.
If a feature is based on a lot of dependencies, contributors should first
consider building the system outside of Bitcoin Core, if possible.
* Refactoring changes are only accepted if they are required for a feature or
bug fix or otherwise improve developer experience significantly. For example,
most "code style" refactoring changes require a thorough explanation why they
are useful, what downsides they have and why they *significantly* improve
developer experience or avoid serious programming bugs. Note that code style
is often a subjective matter. Unless they are explicitly mentioned to be
preferred in the [developer notes](/doc/developer-notes.md), stylistic code
changes are usually rejected.

<!--
Bitcoin Core has a thorough review process and even the most trivial change
needs to pass a lot of eyes and requires non-zero or even substantial time
effort to review. There is a huge lack of active reviewers on the project, so
patches often sit for a long time.

Contributes to #564 by providing an interface for mapLocalHost
through net -> node interface -> clientModel. Later this value can be
read by GUI to show the local addresses.
Rather than pass options individually to createNewBlock and then
combining them into BlockAssembler::Options, this commit introduces
BlockCreateOptions and passes that instead.
Currently there's only one option (use_mempool) but the next
commit adds more.

The goal of interfaces is to eventually run in their own process,
so we can't use EXCLUSIVE_LOCKS_REQUIRED in their declaration.
However TestBlockValidaty will crash (in its call to ConnectBlock)
if the tip changes from under the proposed block.
Have the testBlockValidity implementation hold the lock instead,
and non-fatally check for this condition.
