Subject: [PATCH] Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#26506: refactor: rpc: use convenience
 fn to auto parse non-string parameters

6d0ab07e817725369df699791b9c5b2fae204990 refactor: use convenience fn to auto parse non-string parameters (stickies-v)

Pull request description:

  Minimizes code duplication and improves function naming by having a single (overloaded) convenience function `ParseIfNonString` that both checks if the parameter is a non-string parameter and automatically parses the value if so.
