Currently, if `-asmap` is specified without a filename, bitcoind tries to load `ip_asn.map` data file. This change now requires `-asmap=ip_asn.map` or another filename to be specified explicitly. The change is intended to make behavior of the option explicit avoid confusion reported https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/33386 where documentation specifies a default file which is not actually loaded by default. It was originally implemented in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/33631#issuecomment-3410302383 and various alternatives are discussed there. Co-authored-by: Fabian Jahr <fjahr@protonmail.com>

-asmap requires explicit filename
In previous releases, if -asmap was specified without a filename, this would try to load an ip_asn.map data file. Now loading an asmap file requires an explicit filename like -asmap=ip_asn.map. This change was made to make the option easier to understand, because it was confusing for there to be a default filename not actually loaded by default (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/33386). Also this change makes the option more future-proof, because in upcoming releases, specifying -asmap will load embedded asmap data instead of an external file (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/28792).
