Carl Dong ae9121f958 node/chainstate: Decouple from stringy errors
This allows us to separate the initialization code from translations and
error reporting.

This change changes the caller semantics of LoadChainstate quite
drastically.

To see that this change doesn't change behaviour, observe that:

1. Prior to this change, LoadChainstate returned false only in the "bad
   genesis block" failure case (by returning InitError()), indicating
   that the caller should immediately bail. After this change, the
   corresponding ERROR_BAD_GENESIS_BLOCK handler in src/init.cpp
   maintains behavioue by also bailing immediately.

2. The failed_* temporary booleans were only used to break out of the
   outer do/while(false) loop. They can therefore be safely 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.

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