Pull request description:
A lot of places refer to `CWallet*`'s as `CWallet * const`, which translates to *"an immutable pointer to a mutable `CWallet` instance"*; this is
1. often not what the author meant, especially as a lot of these places do not at all modify the wallet object, and
2. confusing, as it tends to suggest that this is a proper way to refer to a constant `CWallet` instance.
This PR changes references to wallets to `const CWallet* const` whenever immutability is expected. This should result in no behavioral changes at all, and improved compile-time error checking.
Note from irc:
> <sipa> sounds good to me; this is the sort of change that as long as it compiles, the behavior shouldn't change
> <sipa> though in general it may lead to introducing automatic copying of objects sometimes (e.g. trying to std::move a const object will work, but generally result in a copy rather than an efficient move)
> <sipa> CWallet objects aren't copied or moved though

Internal c++ interfaces
The following interfaces are defined here:
-
Chain
— used by wallet to access blockchain and mempool state. Added in #14437, #14711, #15288, and #10973. -
ChainClient
— used by node to start & stopChain
clients. Added in #14437. -
Node
— used by GUI to start & stop bitcoin node. Added in #10244. -
Handler
— returned byhandleEvent
methods on interfaces above and used to manage lifetimes of event handlers. -
Init
— used by multiprocess code to access interfaces above on startup. Added in #10102.
The interfaces above define boundaries between major components of bitcoin code (node, wallet, and gui), making it possible for them to run in different processes, and be tested, developed, and understood independently. These interfaces are not currently designed to be stable or to be used externally.
