df67bb6fd8 test: Remove convert_to_json_for_cli (Ava Chow)
44a493e150 cli: Allow arguments to be both strings and json (Ava Chow)

Pull request description:

  There are some RPCs where the argument can be either JSON that needs to be parsed, or a string that we can pass straight through. However, `bitcoin-cli` would always parse those arguments as JSON which makes for some cumbersome argument passing when using those RPCs. Notably, `hash_or_height` in `getblockstats` and `gettxoutsetinfo` do this, and results in a more cumbersome command of `bitcoin-cli getblockstats '"<hash>"'`. Otherwise, using a normal invocation of `bitcoin-cli getblockstats <hash>` results in `error: Error parsing JSON`. This PR marks those particular options as also being a string so that when `bitcoin-cli` fails to parse the argument as JSON, it will assume that the argument is a string and pass it straight through.
