Drop UniValue::getBool method because it is easy to confuse with the
UniValue::get_bool method, and could potentially cause bugs. Unlike get_bool,
getBool doesn't ensure that the value is a boolean and returns false for all
integer, string, array, and object values instead of throwing an exceptions.
The getBool method is also redundant because it is an alias for isTrue. There
were only 5 getBool() calls in the codebase, so this commit replaces them with
isTrue() or get_bool() calls as appropriate.
These changes were originally made by MarcoFalke in
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/26213 but were dropped to limit the
scope of that PR.

Quoting ryanofsky: "util can be the library for things included in the kernel
which the kernel can depend on, and common can be the library for other code
that needs to be shared internally, but should not be part of the kernel or
shared externally."
This option replaces --with-boost-process
This prepares external signer support to be disabled by default.
It adds a configure option to enable this feature and to check
if Boost::Process is present.
This also exposes ENABLE_EXTERNAL_SIGNER to the test suite via test/config.ini
