This PR adds basic process spawning and IPC method call support to `bitcoin-node` executables built with `--enable-multiprocess`[*].
These changes are used in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10102 to let node, gui, and wallet functionality run in different processes, and extended in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/19460 and https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/19461 after that to allow gui and wallet processes to be started and stopped independently and connect to the node over a socket.
These changes can also be used to implement new functionality outside the `bitcoin-node` process like external indexes or pluggable transports (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/18988). The `Ipc::spawnProcess` and `Ipc::serveProcess` methods added here are entry points for spawning a child process and serving a parent process, and being able to make bidirectional, multithreaded method calls between the processes. A simple example of this is implemented in commit "Add echoipc RPC method and test."
Changes in this PR aside from the echo test were originally part of #10102, but have been split and moved here for easier review, and so they can be used for other applications like external plugins.
Additional notes about this PR can be found at https://bitcoincore.reviews/19160
[*] Note: the `--enable-multiprocess` feature is still experimental, and not enabled by default, and not yet supported on windows. More information can be found in [doc/multiprocess.md](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/multiprocess.md)

However, keep a declaration in validation to make it possible to move
smaller chunks to blockstorage without breaking compilation.
Also, expose AbortNode in the header.

d831e711ca [validation] RewindBlockIndex no longer needed (Dhruv Mehta)
Pull request description:
Closes#17862
Context from [original comment](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/17862#issuecomment-744285188) (minor edits):
`RewindBlockIndex()` is a mechanism to allow nodes to be upgraded after segwit activation, while still keeping their chainstate/datadir in a consistent state. It works as follows:
- A pre-segwit (i.e. v0.13.0 or older) node is running.
- Segwit activates. The pre-segwit node remains sync'ed to the tip, but is not enforcing the new segwit rules.
- The user upgrades the node to a segwit-aware version (v0.13.1 or newer).
- On startup, in `AppInitMain()`, `RewindBlockIndex()` is called. This walks the chain backwards from the tip, disconnecting and erasing blocks that from after segwit activation that weren't validated with segwit rules.
- those blocks are then redownloaded (with witness data) and validated with segwit rules.
This logic probably isn't required any more since:
- Segwit activated at height 481824, when the block chain was 130GB and the total number of txs was 250 million. Today, we're at height 667704, the blockchain is over 315GB and the total number of txs is over 600 million. Even if 20% of that added data is witness data (a high estimate), then around 150GB of transactions would need to be rewound to get back to segwit activation height. It'd probably be faster to simply validate from genesis, especially since we won't be validating any scripts before the assumevalid block. It's also unclear whether rewinding 150GB of transactions would even work. It's certainly never been tested.
- Bitcoin Core v0.13 is hardly used any more. https://luke.dashjr.org/programs/bitcoin/files/charts/software.html shows less than 50 nodes running it. The software was EOL on Aug 1st 2018. It's very unlikely that anyone is running 0.13 and will want to upgrade to 0.22.
This PR introduces `NeedsRedownload()` which merely checks for insufficiently validated segwit blocks and requests that the user restarts the node with `-reindex`. Reindexing the block files upon restart will make the node rebuild chain state and block index from the `blk*.dat` files on disk. The node won't be able to index the blocks with `BLOCK_OPT_WITNESS`, so they will be missing from the chain and be re-downloaded, with witness data.
Removing this code allows the following (done in follow-up #21090):
- removal of tests using `segwitheight=-1` in `p2p_segwit.py`.
- in turn, that allows us to drop support for `-segwitheight=-1`, which is only supported for that test.
- that allows us to always set `NODE_WITNESS` in our local services. The only reason we don't do that is to support `-segwitheight=-1`.
- that in turn allows us to drop all of the `GetLocalServices() & NODE_WITNESS` checks inside `net_processing.cpp`, since our local services would always include `NODE_WITNESS`

Pull request description:
This extends the functional test `p2p_addr_relay.py`.
It adds test coverage for address relay involving outbound peers, tests for both outgoing and incoming `GETADDR` requests and tests for `-blocksonly` mode.
The initial refactors and some of the new tests were taken from Amiti Uttarwar's PR #21528 - they are general test improvements not directly tied to the change proposed there.

This change is move-only and can be easily reviewed with `--color-moved=dimmed_zebra`. The moves are needed to avoid duplicating common init code between different binaries (`bitcoin-node`, `bitcoin-wallet`, etc) in #10102. In #10102, each binary has it's own init file (`src/init/bitcoin-node.cpp`, `src/init/bitcoin-wallet.cpp`) so this PR moves the common code to `src/init/common.cpp`.

The default clearHistory=true argument is passed in the RPCConsole ctor
only. This is needless, as the history and historyPtr members are
initialized properly.
