Merge #12220: Error if relative -walletdir is specified

ec527c6 Don't allow relative -walletdir paths (Russell Yanofsky)

Pull request description:

  This makes it an error to explicitly specify a non-absolute -walletdir path, and also adds a debug.log warning if a relative rather than absolute -datadir path is configured.

  Specifying paths relative to the current working directory in a daemon process can be dangerous, because files can fail to be located even if the configuration doesn't change, but the daemon is started up differently.

  Specifying a relative -datadir now adds a warning to the debug log. It would not be backwards-compatible to forbid relative -datadir paths entirely, and it could also be inconvenient for command line testing.

  Specifying a relative -walletdir now results in a startup error. But since the -walletdir option is new in 0.16.0, there should be no compatibility issues. Another reason not to use working directory paths for -walletdir specifically is that the default -walletdir is a "wallets" subdirectory inside the datadir, so it could be surprising that setting -walletdir manually would choose a directory rooted in a completely different location.
