7851f14ccf2bcd1e9b2ad48e5e08881be06d9d21 rpc: incorporate review feedback from PR 17283 (Jon Atack)

Pull request description:

  This PR builds on #17283 (now merged) and is followed by #17585.

  It modifies the value returned by rpc getaddressinfo `labels` to an array of label name strings and deprecates the previous behavior of returning an array of JSON hash structures containing label `name` and address `purpose` key/value pairs.

  before
  ```
    "labels": [
      {
        "name": "DOUBLE SPEND",
        "purpose": "receive"
      }
  ```
  after
  ```
    "labels": [
      "DOUBLE SPEND"
    ]
  ```

  The deprecated behavior can be re-enabled by starting bitcoind with `-deprecatedrpc=labelspurpose`.

  For context, see:

  - http://www.erisian.com.au/bitcoin-core-dev/log-2019-11-22.html#l-622

  Reviewers: This PR may be tested manually by building, then running bitcoind with and without the `-deprecatedrpc=labelspurpose` flag while verifying the rpc getaddressinfo help text and `labels` output.

  Next steps: deprecate the rpc getaddressinfo `label` field (EDIT: done in #17585) and add support for multiple labels per address. This PR will unblock those.

Deprecated or removed RPCs
--------------------------
- The `getaddressinfo` RPC `labels` field now returns an array of label name
strings. Previously, it returned an array of JSON objects containing `name` and
`purpose` key/value pairs, which is now deprecated and will be removed in
0.21. To re-enable the previous behavior, launch bitcoind with
`-deprecatedrpc=labelspurpose`.
