Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#27862: validation: Stricter assumeutxo error handling when renaming chainstates
1c7d08b9acd33aff343228ada7e058e606cb1062 validation: Stricter assumeutxo error handling in InvalidateCoinsDBOnDisk (Ryan Ofsky)
9047337d369d800e6eca4d3b686139073a8e8905 validation: Stricter assumeutxo error handling in LoadChainstate (Ryan Ofsky)

Pull request description:

  There are two places in assumeutxo code where it is calling `AbortNode` to trigger asynchronous shutdowns without returning errors to calling functions.

  One case, in `LoadChainstate`, happens when snapshot validation succeeds, and there is an error trying to replace the background chainstate with the snapshot chainstate.

  The other case, in `InvalidateCoinsDBOnDisk`, happens when snapshot validatiion fails, and there is an error trying to remove the snapshot chainstate.

  In both cases the node is being forced to shut down, so it makes sense for these functions to raise errors so callers can know that an error happened without having to infer it from the shutdown state.

  Noticed these cases while reviewing #27861, which replaces the `AbortNode` function with a `FatalError` function.

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.

This directory is at the moment sparsely populated. Eventually more substantial files like src/validation.cpp and src/txmempool.cpp might be moved there.
