Pull request description:

  ## Motivation

  Since https://github.com/dashpay/dash/pull/5940, `CActiveMasternodeManager` ceased to be a global variable and became a conditional smart pointer initialized based on the value of `fMasternodeMode`.

  Likewise, since https://github.com/dashpay/dash/pull/5555, we can tell if any `CFlatDB`-based manager has successfully loaded its database. `CGovernanceManager` is one of them and conditionally loads its database based on the value of `fGovernanceDisabled`.

  `fMasternodeMode` and `fGovernanceDisabled` were (and the former to a certain degree still is) unavoidable globals due to the way the functionality they influenced was structured (i.e. decided in initialization code with no way to query from the manager itself). As we can directly ask the managers now, we can start reducing the usage of these globals and at least in this PR, get rid of one of them.

  This PR was the idea of PastaPastaPasta, special thanks for the suggestion!

  ## Additional Information

  * There are two conventions being used for checking `nullptr`-ity of a pointer, `if (mn_activeman)` and `if (mn_activeman != nullptr)`. The former is used in initialization and RPC code due to existing conventions there ([source](2dacfb08bd/src/init.cpp (L1659-L1677)), [source](2dacfb08bd/src/rpc/net.cpp (L942-L945)), [source](2dacfb08bd/src/rpc/misc.cpp (L215-L218))). The latter is used whenever the value has to be passed as a `bool` (you cannot pass the implicit conversion to a `bool` argument without explicitly casting it) and in Dash-specific code where it is the prevalent convention ([source](2dacfb08bd/src/governance/governance.cpp (L125)), [source](2dacfb08bd/src/coinjoin/client.cpp (L1064))).

    Unfortunately, that means this PR expresses the same thing sometimes in two different ways but this approach was taken so that reading is consistent within the same file. Codebase-wide harmonization is outside the scope of this PR.

  * Where `mn_activeman` isn't directly available, the result of the check is passed as an argument named `is_masternode` and/or set for the manager during its construction as `m_is_masternode` (`const bool`) as it is expected for the `CActiveMasternodeManager`'s presence or absence to remain as-is for the duration of the manager's lifetime.

    This does mean that some parts of the codebase check for `mn_activeman` while others check for {`m_`}`is_masternode`, which does reduce clarity while reading. Suggestions on improving this are welcomed.

  * One of the reasons this PR was made was to avoid having to deal the _possibility_ of `fMasternodeMode` or `fDisableGovernance` from desynchronizing from the behaviour of the managers it's suppose to influence. It's why additional assertions were placed in to make sure that `fMasternodeMode` and the existence of `mn_activeman` were always in sync ([source](2dacfb08bd/src/evo/mnauth.cpp (L137-L139)), [source](2dacfb08bd/src/rpc/governance.cpp (L319-L320))).

    But removing the tracking global and relying on a manager's state itself prevents a potential desync, which is what this PR is aiming to do.

  ## Breaking Changes

  None expected.

What is Dash?

Dash is an experimental digital currency that enables instant, private payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Dash uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network. Dash Core is the name of the open source software which enables the use of this currency.

For more information read the original Dash whitepaper.

License

Dash Core is released under the terms of the MIT license. See COPYING for more information or see https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.

Development Process

The master branch is meant to be stable. Development is normally done in separate branches. Tags are created to indicate new official, stable release versions of Dash Core.

The develop branch is regularly built (see doc/build-*.md for instructions) and tested, but is not guaranteed to be completely stable.

The contribution workflow is described in CONTRIBUTING.md and useful hints for developers can be found in doc/developer-notes.md.

Testing

Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test on short notice. Please be patient and help out by testing other people's pull requests, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people lots of money.

Automated Testing

Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests for new code, and to submit new unit tests for old code. Unit tests can be compiled and run (assuming they weren't disabled in configure) with: make check. Further details on running and extending unit tests can be found in /src/test/README.md.

There are also regression and integration tests, written in Python. These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: test/functional/test_runner.py

The CI (Continuous Integration) systems make sure that every pull request is built for Windows, Linux, and macOS, and that unit/sanity tests are run automatically.

Manual Quality Assurance (QA) Testing

Changes should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the code. This is especially important for large or high-risk changes. It is useful to add a test plan to the pull request description if testing the changes is not straightforward.

Translations

Changes to translations as well as new translations can be submitted to Dash Core's Transifex page.

Translations are periodically pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the translation process for details on how this works.

Important: We do not accept translation changes as GitHub pull requests because the next pull from Transifex would automatically overwrite them again.
