Wladimir J. van der Laan 45e65376ac Merge #17382: rpc: Remove unused boost::this_thread::interruption_point
fa5facd3e7 rpc: Remove unused boost::this_thread::interruption_point (MarcoFalke)

Pull request description:

  There are predefined interruption points for `boost::thread`: https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_71_0/doc/html/thread/thread_management.html#interruption_points

  However, the rpc threads are `std::thread`, which does not have an `std::thread::interrupt` member function to request interruption: https://dev.visucore.com/bitcoin/doxygen/httpserver_8cpp.html#ae1a63374e18b9abd348eb74e4243ea34

  Thus, the interruption points can be removed.

src/node/

The src/node/ directory contains code that needs to access node state (state in CChain, CBlockIndex, CCoinsView, CTxMemPool, and similar classes).

Code in src/node/ is meant to be segregated from code in src/wallet/ and src/qt/, to ensure wallet and GUI code changes don't interfere with node operation, to allow wallet and GUI code to run in separate processes, and to perhaps eventually allow wallet and GUI code to be maintained in separate source repositories.

As a rule of thumb, code in one of the src/node/, src/wallet/, or src/qt/ directories should avoid calling code in the other directories directly, and only invoke it indirectly through the more limited src/interfaces/ classes.

The src/node/ directory is a new directory introduced in #14978 and at the moment is sparsely populated. Eventually more substantial files like src/validation.cpp and src/txmempool.cpp might be moved there.
