`ArgsManager::m_cached_blocks_path` is protected by
`ArgsManager::cs_args` and returning a reference to it after releasing
the mutex is unsafe.
To resolve this, return a copy of the path. This has some performance
penalty which is presumably ok, given that paths are a few 100s bytes
at most and `GetBlocksDirPath()` is not called often.
This silences the following (clang 18):
```
common/args.cpp:288:31: error: returning variable 'm_cached_blocks_path' by reference requires holding mutex 'cs_args' [-Werror,-Wthread-safety-reference-return]
288 | if (!path.empty()) return path;
| ^
```
Do the same with
`ArgsManager::GetDataDir()`,
`ArgsManager::GetDataDirBase()` and
`ArgsManager::GetDataDirNet()`.
bbbbdb0cd5 ci: Add filesystem lint check (MarcoFalke)
fada2f9110 refactor: Replace <filesystem> with <util/fs.h> (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
Using `std::filesystem` is problematic:
* There is a `fs` namespace wrapper for it. So having two ways to achieve the same is confusing.
* Not using the `fs` wrapper is dangerous and buggy, because it disables known bugs by deleting problematic functions.
Fix all issues by removing use of it and adding a linter to avoid using it again in the future.

All code in this repo uses <util/fs.h>, except for a few lines. This is
confusing and potentially dangerous, if the safe <util/fs.h> wrappers
are not used.
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.

Pull request description:
Show an error on startup if a bitcoin datadir that is being used contains a `bitcoin.conf` file that is ignored. There are two cases where this could happen:
- One case reported in [#27246 (comment)](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/27246#issuecomment-1470006043) happens when a `bitcoin.conf` file in the default datadir (e.g. `$HOME/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf`) has a `datadir=/path` line that sets different datadir containing a second `bitcoin.conf` file. Currently the second `bitcoin.conf` file is ignored with no warning.
- Another way this could happen is if a `-conf=` command line argument points to a configuration file with a `datadir=/path` line and that path contains a `bitcoin.conf` file, which is currently ignored.
This change only adds an error message and doesn't change anything about way settings are applied. It also doesn't trigger errors if there are redundant `-datadir` or `-conf` settings pointing at the same configuration file, only if they are pointing at different files and one file is being ignored.

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.
These are introduced for the next commit where the usage of the
ChainType is adopted throughout the code.

Currently debug.log will show the wrong bitcoin.conf config file path when
bitcoind is invoked without -conf or -datadir arguments, and there's a default
bitcoin.conf file which specifies another datadir= location. When this happens,
the debug.log will include an incorrect "Config file:" line referring to a
bitcoin.conf file in the other datadir, instead of the referring to the actual
configuration file in the default datadir which was parsed.
The bad log print was reported and originally fixed in
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/27303 by
Matthew Zipkin <pinheadmz@gmail.com>
This PR takes a slightly different approach to fixing the bug, trying to avoid
future bugs by not allowing the GetConfigFilePath function to be called before
the the configuration is parsed, and deleting GetConfigFile function which
could be confused with GetConfigFilePath. It also includes a test for the bug
which the original fix did not have.

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
into the common library, since the kernel library should not depend on
it. See doc/design/libraries.md for more information on this rationale.
