The background of this commit is an ongoing effort to decouple the
libbitcoinkernel library from code that is not strictly required by it.
The settings code belongs into the common library and namespace, since
the kernel library should not depend on it. See doc/design/libraries.md
for more information on this rationale.
Changing the namespace of the moved functions is scripted in the
following commit.
This commit effectively moves the definition of these constants
out of the chainparamsbase to their own file.
Using the ChainType enums provides better type safety compared to
passing around strings.
The commit is part of an ongoing effort to decouple the libbitcoinkernel
library from the ArgsManager and other functionality that should not be
part of the kernel library.
This is an extraction of ArgsManager related functions from util/system
into their own common file.
Config file related functions are moved to common/config.cpp.
The background of this commit is an ongoing effort to decouple the
libbitcoinkernel library from the ArgsManager. The ArgsManager belongs

The fs.* files are already part of the libbitcoin_util library. With the
introduction of the fs_helpers.* it makes sense to move fs.* into the
util/ directory as well.
fixes #22638
If we find a duplicate key and error, clear `values` before returning so that
WriteSettings will write an empty file, therefore clearing it.
This aligns with GUI behaviour added in 1ee6d0b.
Add interfaces::Node methods to give GUI finer grained control over
settings.json file. Update method is used to write settings to the file,
getPersistent and isIgnored methods are used to find out about settings
file and command line option interactions.
Warning: Replacing fs::system_complete calls with fs::absolute calls
in this commit may cause minor changes in behaviour because fs::absolute
no longer strips trailing slashes; however these changes are believed to
be safe.

There is no change in behavior. This just helps prepare for the
transition from boost::filesystem to std::filesystem by avoiding calls
to methods which will be unsafe after the transaction to std::filesystem
to due lack of a boost::filesystem::path::imbue equivalent and inability
to set a predictable locale.

Pull request description:
This PR doesn't change behavior. It just implements some suggestions from #15934 and #16545 and few other small cleanups.

Also rename the "result_complete" variable in GetSettingsList() to "done" to be
more consistent with GetSetting().
This change doesn't affect current behavior but could be useful in the future
to support dynamically changing settings at runtime and adding new settings
sources, because it lets high priority sources reset settings back to default
(see test).
By removing a special case for null, this change also helps merge code treat
settings values more like black boxes, and interfere less with settings parsing
and retrieval.
