Merge #20286: rpc: deprecate `addresses` and `reqSigs` from rpc outputs
90ae3d8ca68334ec712d67b21a8d4721c6d79788 doc: Add release notes for -deprecatedrpc=addresses and bitcoin-tx (Michael Dietz) 085b3a729952896ccd0e40c17df569f4421f5493 rpc: deprecate `addresses` and `reqSigs` from rpc outputs (Michael Dietz) Pull request description: Considering the limited applicability of `reqSigs` and the confusing output of `1` in all cases except bare multisig, the `addresses` and `reqSigs` outputs are removed for all rpc commands. 1) add a new sane "address" field (for outputs that have an identifiable address, which doesn't include bare multisig) 2) with -deprecatedrpc: leave "reqSigs" and "addresses" intact (with all weird/wrong behavior they have now) 3) without -deprecatedrpc: drop "reqSigs" and "addresses" entirely always. Note: Some light refactoring done to allow us to very easily delete a few chunks of code (marked with TODOs) when we remove this deprecated behavior. Using `IsDeprecatedRPCEnabled` in core_write.cpp caused some circular dependencies involving core_io Circular dependencies were caused by rpc/util unnecessarily importing node/coinstats and node/transaction. Really what rpc/util needs are some fundamental type/helper-function definitions. So this was cleaned up to make more sense. This fixes #20102.

+ the `scriptPubKey` object returned in the RPC response. However, in the response
+ of `decodescript` these fields are top-level attributes, and included again as attributes
+ of the `scriptPubKey` object. (#20286)
