(#23123) Updated RPCs ------------ +- The `validateaddress` RPC now returns an `error_locations` array for invalid + addresses, with the indices of invalid character locations in the address (if + known). For example, this will attempt to locate up to two Bech32 errors, and + return their locations if successful. Success and correctness are only guaranteed + if fewer than two substitution errors have been made. + The error message returned in the `error` field now also returns more specific + errors when decoding fails.

RPCs `gettxout`, `getrawtransaction`, `decoderawtransaction`, `decodescript`, `gettransaction verbose=true` and REST endpoints `/rest/tx`, `/rest/getutxos`, `/rest/block` no longer return the `addresses` and `reqSigs` fields, which were previously deprecated in 22.0.

The existing `/rest/block/` REST endpoint is modified to contain this information too.
