Merge #10931: Fix misleading "Method not found" multiwallet errors

df389bc Change wallet method disabled error text (Russell Yanofsky)
e526b3d Fix misleading "Method not found" multiwallet errors (Russell Yanofsky)

Pull request description:

  Raise RPC_WALLET_NOT_SPECIFIED instead of RPC_METHOD_NOT_FOUND when a required
  wallet filename was not specified in an RPC call.

  Also raise more specific RPC_WALLET_NOT_FOUND error instead of
  RPC_INVALID_PARAMETER in case an invalid wallet was specified, for consistency.
