  Addresses (partially) #16779 - no GUI change in this PR

  Adds a LocateError function the bech32 library, which is then called by `validateaddress` RPC, (and then eventually from a GUI tool too, future work). I think modifying validateaddress is nicer than adding a separate RPC for this.
  Includes tests.

  Based on https://github.com/sipa/bech32/blob/master/ecc/javascript/bech32_ecc.js
  Credit to sipa for that code

    Code review and manually tested ACK 88cc481092

    Code review ACK 88cc481092 with caveat that I only checked the new `LocateErrors` code to try to verify it didn't have unsafe or unexpected operations or loop forever or crash. Did not try to verify behavior corresponds to the spec. In the worst case bugs here should just affect error messages not actual decoding of addresses so this seemed ok.

Updated RPCs
------------
- The `validateaddress` RPC now optionally returns an `error_locations` array, with the indices of
invalid characters in the address. For example, this will return the locations of up to two Bech32
errors.
