This change improves the usability of the `dumptxoutset` RPC in two ways,
in the case that an invalid path is passed:
1. return from the RPC immediately, rather then when the file is first
tried to be written (which is _after_ calculating the UTXO set hash)
2. return a proper return code and error message instead of the cryptic
"CAutoFile::operator<<: file handle is nullptr: unspecified
iostream_category error" (-1)

Pull request description:
This is part of the [assumeutxo project](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/projects/11) (parent PR: #15606)
---
A few fixes to make this RPC actually useful when generating snapshots.
- Generate an assumeutxo hash and display it (sort of a bugfix)
- Add nchaintx to output (necessary for use in chainparams entry)
- Add path of serialized UTXO file to output

The previous diff touched most files in ./test/, so bump the headers to
avoid having to touch them again for a bump later.

This value is no longer used and is instead specified statically
in chainparams. This change means that previously generated
snapshots will no longer be usable.
Commit 1abcecc40c518a98b7d17880657ec0247abdf125 replaced 'regtest' by self.chain
'regtest' "in almost all current tests", this commit takes care of the remaining
ones.
