c1e07423083cd2a7e3f2b28f69a573ea1837af4d doc: Warn about wallet.dat re-use and backups (Albert)
Pull request description:
Following discussion in #18205, this PR adds a warning against re-use of the same wallet file on two different nodes, as that can cause problems due to race conditions between nodes (eg: both nodes using the same addresses at the same time for different things because they are not aware of the other node).
I've also included the rationale behind the warning but I've kept it short to make it clearer to users, not sure if I should have written a longer explanation instead.
Also, while this PR may help some users avoid problems, the changes are largely inconsequential, so feel free to close it if it's not worth the effort.
On an unrelated note, I've also set up [this site](https://corollari.github.io/bitcoin-core-docs/), which periodically pulls bitcoin core and turns its docs into a webpage. Browsing the docs can also be done locally or on github, so this doesn't add much value, but I personally find that more comfortable and it makes them more searchable.
Top commit has no ACKs.

I'm re-opening #11857 as a new pull request because the last one stopped loading for people
-------------------------------
This refactors the tx index code to be in it's own class and get built concurrently with validation code. The main benefit is decoupling and moving the txindex into a separate DB. The primary motivation is to lay the groundwork for other indexers that might be desired (such as the [compact filters](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/pull/636)). The basic idea is that the TxIndex spins up its own thread, which first syncs the txindex to the current block index, then once in sync the BlockConnected ValidationInterface hook writes new blocks.
### DB changes
At the suggestion of some other developers, the txindex has been split out into a separate database. A data migration runs at startup on any nodes with a legacy txindex. Currently the migration blocks node initialization until complete.
### Open questions
- Should the migration of txindex data from the old DB to the new DB block in init or should it happen in a background thread? The downside to backgrounding it is that `getrawtransaction` would return an error message saying the txindex is syncing while the migration is running.
### Impact
In a sample size n=1 test where I synced nodes from scratch, the average time [Index writing](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/validation.cpp#L1903) was 3.36ms in master and 1.72ms in this branch. The average time between `UpdateTip` log lines for sequential blocks between 400,000 and IBD end on mainnet was 0.297204s in master and 0.286134s in this branch. Most likely this is just variance in IBD times, but I can try with some more trials if people want.

723aa1b qt: Backup former GUI settings on `-resetguisettings` (Wladimir J. van der Laan)

Writes the GUI settings to `guisettings.bak` in the data directory before wiping them. This can be used to retroactively troubleshoot issues (e.g. #11262) where `-resetguisettings` solves the problem.

* Remove ppszTypeName from protocol.cpp and reimplement GetCommand
This removes the need to carefully maintain ppszTypeName, which required
correct order and also did not allow to permanently remove old message
types.
To get the command name for an INV type, GetCommandInternal uses a switch
which needs to be maintained from now on.
The way this is implemented also resembles the way it is implemented in
Bitcoin today, but it's not identical. The original PR that introduced the
switch case in Bitcoin was part of the Segwit changes and thus never got
backported. I decided to implement it in a slightly different way that
avoids throwing exceptions when an unknown INV type is encountered.
IsKnownType will now also leverage GetCommandInternal() to figure out if
the INV type is known locally. This has the side effect of old/legacy
message types to return false from now on. We will depend on this side
effect in later commits when we remove legacy InstantSend code.
* Stop handling/relaying legacy IX messages
When we receive an IX message, we simply treat it as a regular TX and relay
it as such.
We'll however still request IX messages when they are announced to us. We
can't simply revert to requesting TX messages in this case as it might
result in the other peer not answering due to the TX not being in mapRelay
yet. We should at some point in the future completely drop handling of IX
messages instead.
* Remove IsNewInstantSendEnabled() and only use IsInstantSendEnabled()
* Remove legacy InstantSend from GUI
* Remove InstantSend from Bitcoin/Dash URIs
* Remove legacy InstantSend from RPC commands
* Remove legacy InstantSend from wallet
* Remove legacy instantsend.h include
* Remove legacy InstantSend from validation code
* Completely remove remaining legacy InstantSend code
* Remove now unused spork
* Fix InstantSend related test failures
* Remove now obsolete auto IS tests
* Make spork2 and spork3 disabled by default
This should have no influence on mainnet as these sporks are actually set
there. This will however affect regtest, which shouldn't have LLMQ based
InstantSend enabled by default.
* Remove instantsend tests from dip3-deterministicmns.py
These were only testing legacy InstantSend
* Fix .QCheckBox#checkUsePrivateSend styling a bit
* s/TXLEGACYLOCKREQUEST/LEGACYTXLOCKREQUEST/
* Revert "verified via InstantSend" back to "verified via LLMQ based InstantSend"
* Use cmd == nullptr instead of !cmd
* Remove last parameter from AvailableCoins call
This was for fUseInstantSend which is not present anymore since rebase
* No need to translate "Dash"
* Fix missing dashification
* Update docs
* Fix cmd-line params help
- `bool` should have no `=<smth>`
- non-`bool` should have proper `<smth>`
* Fix `quorum dkgstatus` help
* add llmq/ into files.md
* Remove CActiveLegacyMasternodeManager
* Remove sentinelping RPC
* Remove unused P2P messages and inv types
There are still places where these are used in the code. The next commits
will clean these up.
* Remove MNB/MNP/MNVERIFY related code from masternode(man).h/cpp
* Remove all legacy code regarding block MN payee voting
* Remove MASTERNODE_SYNC_LIST and MASTERNODE_SYNC_MNW states
Also replace all uses of IsMasternodeListSynced and IsWinnersListSynced
with IsBlockchainSynced.
* Remove unsupported masternode RPCs
* Remove UpdateLastPaid methods
* Remove duplicate deterministicmns.h include
* Remove masternode.conf support
* Remove legacy MN lists support from masternode list GUI
* Remove unnecessary AskForMN call
* Remove compatibility code in CPrivateSendQueue::GetSignatureHash
* Don't add locally calculated MN payee in case GetBlockTxOuts failed
This is not valid in DIP3 mode
* Remove check for IsDeterministicMNsSporkActive in "masternode status"
* Move CMasternode::IsValidNetAddr to CActiveDeterministicMasternodeManager
* Remove use of CMasternode::CheckCollateral in governance code
* Remove uses of MASTERNODE_SENTINEL_PING_MAX_SECONDS/MASTERNODE_SENTINEL_PING_MAX_SECONDS
* Remove support for "-masternodeprivkey"
* Remove pre-DIP3 vote cleanup
* Remove compatibility code for quorumModifierHash/masternodeProTxHash
* Remove check for invalid nBlockHeight in CMasternodePayments::GetBlockTxOuts
...and let it crash instead. We expect this method to be called with the
correct height now (after DIP3 was fully deployed).
* Remove ECDSA based Sign/CheckSignature from CGovernanceObject
Only masternodes sign governance objects, so there is no need for ECDSA
support here anymore.
* Always add superblock and MN reward payments into new block
* Always check block payees (except if fLiteMode==true)
* Always allow superblock and MN payees in same block
* Remove/Fix a few references to masternode.conf and related stuff
Also delete guide-startmany.md and masternode_conf.md
* Implement NotifyMasternodeListChanged signal and call governance maintenance
* Remove non-DIP3 code path from CMasternodeMan::Find
* Remove remaining unused code from CMasternode/CMasternodeMan
* Always load governance.dat on startup
* Mine an empty block instead of incrementing nHeight from chain tip in miner tests
This test is crashing otherwise in GetBlockTxOuts as it tries to access a
previous block that is not existing.
* Skip MN payments verification on historical blocks (pre-DIP3 blocks)
Even though DIP3 was active on BIP9 level, the spork was not active yet at
that point meaning that payments were not enforced at that time.
* Remove unused state and CollateralStatus enums
* Unconditionally return false from IsBlockPayeeValid when IsTransactionValid returns false
IsTransactionValid already handles the case where IsDIP3Active() returns
false, making it return true.
* Add override keyword to CDSNotificationInterface::NotifyMasternodeListChanged
* Fix help for masternodelist status (POSE_BANNED and no OUTPOINT_SPENT)
