Merge #19250: wallet: Make RPC help compile-time static

fadf6bd04f refactor: Remove unused request.fHelp (MarcoFalke)
fad889cbf0 wallet: Make RPC help compile-time static (MarcoFalke)

Pull request description:

  Currently calling `help` on a wallet RPC method will either return `help: unknown command: getnewaddress` or the actual help. This runtime dependency of the help is a bug that complicates any tool that relies on documentation. Also, the code that enables the bug is overly complicated and confusing.

  The fix is split into two commits:

  * First, a commit that can be reviewed with the `--color-moved=dimmed-zebra` option and tested with the included test.
  * Second, a commit that removes the complicated and confusing code.
