41b0baf43c gui: Handle WalletModel::unload asynchronous (João Barbosa)
ab31b9d6fe Fix wallet unload race condition (Russell Yanofsky)
Pull request description:
This PR consists in two fixes. The first fixes a concurrency issues with `boost::signals2`. The second fixes a wallet model destruction while it's being used.
From boost signal documentation at https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_72_0/doc/html/signals2/thread-safety.html:
> When a signal is invoked by calling signal::operator(), the invocation first acquires a lock on the signal's mutex. Then it obtains a handle to the signal's slot list and combiner. Next it releases the signal's mutex, before invoking the combiner to iterate through the slot list.
This means that `UnregisterValidationInterface` doesn't prevent more calls to that interface. The fix consists in capturing the `shared_ptr<CValidationInterface>` in each internal slot.
The GUI bug is fixed by using a `Qt::QueuedConnection` in the `WalletModel::unload` connection.

Contains Designer UI files. They are created with Qt Creator, but can be edited using any text editor.
locale
Contains translations. They are periodically updated. The process is described here.
res
Resources such as the icon.
test
Tests.
bitcoingui.(h/cpp)
Represents the main window of the Bitcoin UI.
*model.(h/cpp)
The model. When it has a corresponding controller, it generally inherits from QAbstractTableModel. Models that are used by controllers as helpers inherit from other Qt classes like QValidator.
ClientModel is used by the main application bitcoingui and several models like peertablemodel.
*page.(h/cpp)
A controller. :NAMEpage.cpp generally includes :NAMEmodel.h and forms/:NAME.page.ui with a similar :NAME.
*dialog.(h/cpp)
Various dialogs, e.g. to open a URL. Inherit from QDialog.
paymentserver.(h/cpp)
Used to process BIP21 payment URI requests. Also handles URI based application switching (e.g. when following a bitcoin:... link from a browser).
walletview.(h/cpp)
Represents the view to a single wallet.
Other .h/cpp files
UI elements like BitcoinAmountField, which inherit from QWidget.
bitcoinstrings.cpp: automatically generated
bitcoinunits.(h/cpp): BTC / mBTC / etc handling
callback.h
guiconstants.h: UI colors, app name, etc
guiutil.h: several helper functions
macdockiconhandler.(h/mm): macOS dock icon handler
macnotificationhandler.(h/mm): display notifications in macOS
