bd13dc2f46 Switch hardened derivation marker to h in descriptors (Sjors Provoost)

Pull request description:

  This makes it easier to handle descriptor strings manually, especially when importing from another Bitcoin Core wallet.

  For example the `importdescriptors` RPC call is easiest to use `h` as the marker: `'["desc": ".../0h/..."]'`, avoiding the need for escape characters. With this change `listdescriptors` will use `h`, so you can copy-paste the result, without having to add escape characters or switch `'` to 'h' manually.

  Both markers can still be parsed.

  The `hdkeypath` field in `getaddressinfo` is also impacted by this change, except for legacy wallets. The latter is to prevent accidentally breaking ancient software that uses our legacy wallet.

  See discussion in #15740
