Merge #20202: wallet: Make BDB support optional
d52f502b1ea1cafa7d58c5517f01dba26ecb7269 Fix mock SQLiteDatabases (Andrew Chow) 99309ab3e96a290359b84f9b657c5115aa3470dd Allow disabling BDB in configure with --without-bdb (Andrew Chow) ee47f11f7399ec3a4330ea1f2fc388c7e32959d6 GUI: Force descriptor wallets when BDB is not compiled (Andrew Chow) 71e40b33bd1e72ccf5d82e1d3f8b481f8e965492 RPC: Require descriptors=True for createwallet when BDB is not compiled (Andrew Chow) 6ebc41bf9cb0184554923e84e1935195d356f2b3 Enforce salvage is only for BDB wallets (Andrew Chow) a58b719cf75e2d97205ec260bcff0d4780fe4fb8 Do not compile BDB things when USE_BDB is defined (Andrew Chow) b33af48210c117a734fc3e1bebeb1c2057645775 Include wallet/bdb.h where it is actually being used (Andrew Chow) Pull request description: Adds a `--without-bdb` option to `configure` which disables the compilation of the BDB stuff. Legacy wallets will not be created when BDB is not compiled. A legacy-sqlite wallet can be loaded, but we will not create them. Based on #20156 to resolve the situation where both `--without-sqlite` and `--without-bdb` are provided. In that case, the wallet is disabled and `--disable-wallet` is effectively set.
