Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#34349: util: Remove brittle and confusing sp::Popen(std::string)

fa48d42163 test: Stricter unit test (MarcoFalke)
fa626bd143 util: Remove brittle and confusing sp::Popen(std::string) (MarcoFalke)

Pull request description:

  The subprocess Popen call that accepts a full `std::string` has many issues:

  * It promotes brittle and broken code, where spaces are not properly quoted. Example: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/33929#discussion_r2590523065
  * The internally used `util::split` function does incorrectly split on spaces, instead of using `shlex.split`.
  * It is redundant and not needed, because a vector interface already exists.

  Fix all issues by removing it and just using the vector interface.

  This pull request should not change any behavior: Note that the command taken from `gArgs.GetArg("-signer", "")` is still passed through the `sp::util::split` helper, just like before. Fixing that is left for a follow-up, so that this change here is basically just a refactor.

  This also fixes a unit test bug as a side-effect: Fixes https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/32574.
