fa0f6c58c1c6d10f04c4e65a424cc51ebca50a8c Revert "Fix link error with --enable-debug" (MarcoFalke)

Pull request description:

  This reverts a hacky workaround from commit b83cc0f, which only happens to work due to compiler optimizations. Then, it actually fixes the linker error.

  The underlying problem is that the wallet includes symbols from the server (ui_interface), which usually results in linker failures. Though, in this specific case the linker failures have not been observed (unless `-O0`) because our compilers were smart enough to strip unused symbols.

  Fix the underlying problem by creating a new header-only with the needed symbol and move ui_interface to node to clarify that this is part of libbitcoin_server.

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 & stop Chain clients. Added in #14437.

  • Node — used by GUI to start & stop bitcoin node. Added in #10244.

  • Wallet — used by GUI to access wallets. Added in #10244.

  • Handler — returned by handleEvent 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.
