a23cca56c0 refactor: Replace BResult with util::Result
Rename `BResult` class to `util::Result` and update the class interface to be
more compatible with `std::optional` and with a full-featured result class
implemented in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/25665. Motivation for
this change is to update existing `BResult` usages now so they don't have to
change later when more features are added in #25665.

This change makes the following improvements originally implemented in #25665:

- More explicit API. Drops potentially misleading `BResult` constructor that
  treats any bilingual string argument as an error. Adds `util::Error`
  constructor so it is never ambiguous when a result is being assigned an error
  or non-error value.

- Better type compatibility. Supports `util::Result<bilingual_str>` return
  values to hold translated messages which are not errors.

- More standard and consistent API. `util::Result` supports most of the same
  operators and methods as `std::optional`. `BResult` had a less familiar
  interface with `HasRes`/`GetObj`/`ReleaseObj` methods. The Result/Res/Obj
  naming was also not internally consistent.

- Better code organization. Puts `src/util/` code in the `util::` namespace so
  naming reflects code organization and it is obvious where the class is coming
  from. Drops "B" from name because it is undocumented what it stands for
  (bilingual?)

- Has unit tests.

Introduce generic 'Result' class
Useful to encapsulate the function result object (in case of having it) or, in case of failure, the failure reason.

This let us clean lot of boilerplate code, as now instead of returning a boolean and having to add a ref arg for the
return object and another ref for the error string. We can simply return a 'BResult<Obj>'.

Example of what we currently have:
```
bool doSomething(arg1, arg2, arg3, arg4, &result, &error_string) {
    do something...
    if (error) {
        error_string = "something bad happened";
        return false;
    }

    result = goodResult;
    return true;
}
```

Example of what we will get with this commit:
```
BResult<Obj> doSomething(arg1, arg2, arg3, arg4) {
    do something...
    if (error) return {"something happened"};

    // good
    return {goodResult};
}
```

This allows a similar boilerplate cleanup on the function callers side as well. They don't have to add the extra
pre-function-call error string and result object declarations to pass the references to the function.
