Pull request description:

  A failing `CHECK_NONFATAL` will throw an exception. This is fine and even desired in production builds, because the program may catch the exception and give the user a way to easily report the bug upstream.

  However, in debug development builds, exceptions for internal bugs are problematic:

  * The exception could accidentally be caught and silently ignored
  * The exception does not include a full stacktrace, possibly making debugging harder

  Fix all issues by turning the exception into an abort in debug builds.

  This can be tested by reverting the hunks to `src/rpc/node.cpp` and `test/functional/rpc_misc.py` and then running the functional or fuzz tests.
