Merge #14477: Add ability to convert solvability info to descriptor
109699dd33 Add release notes (Pieter Wuille) b65326b562 Add matching descriptors to scantxoutset output + tests (Pieter Wuille) 16203d5df7 Add descriptors to listunspent and getaddressinfo + tests (Pieter Wuille) 9b2a25b13f Add tests for InferDescriptor and Descriptor::IsSolvable (Pieter Wuille) 225bf3e3b0 Add Descriptor::IsSolvable() to distinguish addr/raw from others (Pieter Wuille) 4d78bd93b5 Add support for inferring descriptors from scripts (Pieter Wuille) Pull request description: This PR adds functionality to convert a script to a descriptor, given a `SigningProvider` with the relevant information about public keys and redeemscripts/witnessscripts. The feature is exposed in `listunspent`, `getaddressinfo`, and `scantxoutset` whenever these calls are applied to solvable outputs/addresses. This is not very useful on its own, though when we add RPCs to import descriptors, or sign PSBTs using descriptors, these strings become a compact and standalone way of conveying everything necessary to sign an output (excluding private keys). Unit tests and rudimentary RPC tests are included (more relevant tests can be added once RPCs support descriptors). Fixes #14503.

+- `getaddressinfo` now reports `solvable`, a boolean indicating whether all information necessary for signing is present in the wallet (ignoring private keys).
+- `getaddressinfo`, `listunspent`, and `scantxoutset` have a new output field `desc`, an output descriptor that encapsulates all signing information and key paths for the address (only available when `solvable` is true for `getaddressinfo` and `listunspent`).
