Pull request description:
Wallet descriptors are useful for applications using the Bitcoin Core wallet as a backend for tracking coins, as they allow to track coins for multiple descriptors in a single wallet. However there is no information currently given for such applications to link a coin with an imported descriptor, severely limiting the possibilities for such applications of using multiple descriptors in a single wallet. This PR outputs the matching imported descriptor(s) for a given received coin in `listsinceblock` (and friends).
It comes from a need for an application i'm working on, but i think it's something any software using `bitcoind` to track multiple descriptors in a single wallet would have eventually. For instance i'm thinking about the BDK project. Currently, the way to achieve this is to import raw addresses with labels and to have your application be responsible for wallet things like the gap limit.
I'll add this to the output of `listunspent` too if this gets a few Concept ACKs.

It's useful for an external application tracking coins to not be limited
by our change detection. For instance, for a watchonly wallet with two
descriptors a transaction from one to the other would be considered a
change output and not be included in the result (if the address was not
generated by this wallet).
Followup to commit "MOVEONLY: CWallet transaction code out of
wallet.cpp/.h" that detaches and renames some CWalletTx methods, making
into them into standalone functions or CWallet methods instead.
There are no changes in behavior and no code changes that aren't purely
mechanical. It just gives spend and receive functions more consistent
names and removes the circular dependencies added by the earlier
MOVEONLY commit.
There are also no comment or documentation changes. Removed comments
from transaction.h are just migrated to spend.h, receive.h, and
wallet.h.
This commit just moves functions without making any changes. It can be
reviewed with `git log -p -n1 --color-moved=dimmed_zebra`
Motivation for this change is to make wallet.cpp/h less monolithic and
start to make wallet transaction state tracking comprehensible so bugs
in
https://github.com/bitcoin-core/bitcoin-devwiki/wiki/Wallet-Transaction-Conflict-Tracking
can be fixed safely without introducing new problems.
This commit moves wallet classes and methods that deal with transactions
out of wallet.cpp/.h into better organized files:
- transaction.cpp/.h - CWalletTx and CMerkleTx class definitions
- receive.cpp/.h - functions checking received transactions and computing balances
- spend.cpp/.h - functions creating transactions and finding spendable coins
After #20773, when loading is separated from syncing it will also be
possible to move more wallet.cpp/.h functions to:
- sync.cpp/.h - functions handling chain notifications and rescanning
This commit arranges receive.cpp and spend.cpp functions in dependency
order so it's possible to skim receive.cpp and get an idea of how
computing balances works, and skim spend.cpp and get an idea of how
transactions are created, without having to jump all over wallet.cpp
where functions are not in order and there is a lot of unrelated code.
Followup commit "refactor: Detach wallet transaction methods" in
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/21206 follows up this PR and
tweaks function names and arguments to reflect new locations. The two
commits are split into separate PRs because this commit is more work to
maintain and less work to review, while the other commit is less work to
maintain and more work to review, so hopefully this commit can be merged
earlier.
