0cd9273 rpc: Prevent `dumpwallet` from overwriting files (Wladimir J. van der Laan)

  Prevent arbitrary files from being overwritten by `dumpwallet`. There have been reports that users have overwritten wallet files this way. It may also avoid other security issues.

  Fixes #9934. Adds mention to release notes and adds a test.
