869b6314fd180856b6054fff28b5de994252c54c [qt] remove unused parameter from getWarnings() (John Newbery)

Pull request description:

  `GetWarnings()` changes the format of the output warning string based on a passed-in string argument that can be set to "gui" or "statusbar".

  Change the argument to a bool:

  - there are only two types of behaviour, so a bool is a more natural argument type
  - changing the name to `verbose` does not set any expectations for the how the calling code will use the returned string (currently, `statusbar` is used for RPC warnings, not a status bar)
  - removes some error-handling code for when the passed-in string is not one of the two strings expected.

Internal c++ interfaces

The following interfaces are defined here:

  • Chain — used by wallet to access blockchain and mempool state. Added in #14437, #14711, #15288, and #10973.

  • ChainClient — used by node to start & stop Chain clients. Added in #14437.

  • Node — used by GUI to start & stop bitcoin node. Added in #10244.

  • Wallet — used by GUI to access wallets. Added in #10244.

  • Handler — returned by handleEvent methods on interfaces above and used to manage lifetimes of event handlers.

  • Init — used by multiprocess code to access interfaces above on startup. Added in #10102.

The interfaces above define boundaries between major components of bitcoin code (node, wallet, and gui), making it possible for them to run in different processes, and be tested, developed, and understood independently. These interfaces are not currently designed to be stable or to be used externally.
