Pull request description:

  Fixes #21368

  Currently, if there are any uncompressed keys when calling `AddAndGetMultisigDestination`, it will just default to a legacy address regardless of the chosen `address_type`. Rather than keeping this silent behaviour which may be confusing to users, we explicitly add a `warnings` field which will warn the user why their address format is different.
