Merge #21404: refactor: Remove MakeUnique<T>()

1a6323bdbe doc: update developer notes for removal of MakeUnique (fanquake)
3ba2840e7e scripted-diff: remove MakeUnique<T>() (fanquake)

Pull request description:

  Since requiring C++17, this is just pointless abstraction. I think we should just "tear the band-aid off" and remove it. Similar to the changes happening in #21366.

  Also, having a comment saying this is deprecated doesn't prevent it's usage in new code. i.e : https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/20946#discussion_r561949731.

  The repository is fairly quiet at the moment, so any potential complaints about having to rebase should be minimal. Might as well get this over and done with.
