Merge #19956: rpc: Improve invalid vout value rpc error message

f471a3be00c2b6433b8c258b716982c0539da13f scripted diff: Improve invalid vout value rpc error message (Nima Yazdanmehr)

Pull request description:

  Since the `vout` value can start at `0`, the error message for *negative* values can be improved to something like: `vout cannot be negative`.
