a23cca56c0 refactor: Replace BResult with util::Result (Ryan Ofsky)
Pull request description:
Rename `BResult` class to `util::Result` and update the class interface to be more compatible with `std::optional` and with a full-featured result class implemented in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/25665. Motivation for this change is to update existing `BResult` usages now so they don't have to change later when more features are added in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/25665.
This change makes the following improvements originally implemented in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/25665:
- More explicit API. Drops potentially misleading `BResult` constructor that treats any bilingual string argument as an error. Adds `util::Error` constructor so it is never ambiguous when a result is being assigned an error or non-error value.
- Better type compatibility. Supports `util::Result<bilingual_str>` return values to hold translated messages which are not errors.
- More standard and consistent API. `util::Result` supports most of the same operators and methods as `std::optional`. `BResult` had a less familiar interface with `HasRes`/`GetObj`/`ReleaseObj` methods. The Result/Res/Obj naming was also not internally consistent.
- Better code organization. Puts `src/util/` code in the `util::` namespace so naming reflects code organization and it is obvious where the class is coming from. Drops "B" from name because it is undocumented what it stands for (bilingual?)
- Has unit tests.
