Currently when "make install" or "cmake --install" are run, various internal
binaries that are confusing and not typically useful and installed to
`${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/bin` and can wind up on the system PATH. This PR moves
internal binaries out of bin/ into libexec/ where they will still be accessible
but will not be automatically placed on the PATH or be confused with more
useful binaries. The PR also adds an install rule for the bitcoin-chainstate
binary. After this PR binaries installed to bin/ are:
- bitcoin-cli
- bitcoind
- bitcoin-qt
- bitcoin-tx
- bitcoin-util
- bitcoin-wallet
And binaries installed to libexec/ are:
- bench_bitcoin
- bitcoin-gui
- bitcoin-node
- test_bitcoin
- test_bitcoin-qt
In the future if #31375 gets merged, there will be a new `bitcoin` wrapper
executable in bin/ that can be used to call other binaries, and with that
present, we could consider moving other binaries from bin/ to libexec/ and
recommending that most users should use the wrapper instead of calling the
different utilities directly. But this PR should make sense with or without
#31375.
