Merge #11289: Add wallet backup text to import* and add* RPCs
c098c58 Wrap dumpwallet warning and note scripts aren't dumped (MeshCollider) a38bfbc Add wallet backup text to import*, add* and dumpwallet RPCs (MeshCollider) Pull request description: Closes https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/11243 Adds "Requires a new wallet backup" text to `addwitnessaddress`, `importprivkey`, `importmulti`, `importaddress`, `importpubkey`, and `addmultisigaddress`. Also adds a warning to `dumpwallet` that backing up the seed alone is not sufficient to back up non-HD addresses Tree-SHA512: 76d7cdca54d5b458acf479154620322391b889922525fddd6153f4164cfee393ad743757400cb8f6b1b30f24947df68ea9043b4e509f7df77a8fa05dda370933
