Pull request description:
This PR allows for key origin data as defined by the descriptors document to be imported to the wallet when importing a descriptor using `importmulti`. This allows the `walletprocesspsbt` to include the BIP 32 derivation paths for keys that it is watching that are from a different HD wallet.
In order to make this easier to use, a new field `hdmasterkeyfingerprint` has been added to `getaddressinfo`. Additionally I have removed `hdmasterkeyid` as was planned. I think that this API change is fine since it was going to be removed in 0.18 anyways. `CKeyMetadata` has also been extended to store key origin info to facilitate this.

Bitcoin Core
Setup
Bitcoin Core is the original Bitcoin client and it builds the backbone of the network. It downloads and, by default, stores the entire history of Bitcoin transactions, which requires a few hundred gigabytes of disk space. Depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process can take anywhere from a few hours to a day or more.
To download Bitcoin Core, visit bitcoincore.org.
Running
The following are some helpful notes on how to run Bitcoin Core on your native platform.
Unix
Unpack the files into a directory and run:
bin/bitcoin-qt(GUI) orbin/bitcoind(headless)
Windows
Unpack the files into a directory, and then run bitcoin-qt.exe.
macOS
Drag Bitcoin Core to your applications folder, and then run Bitcoin Core.
