Russell Yanofsky 30073e6b3a multiprocess: Add -ipcbind option to bitcoin-node 
Add `-ipcbind` option to `bitcoin-node` to listen on an IPC socket and accept
connections from other processes. In the future, there will be an `-ipcconnect`
option added to `bitcoin-wallet` and `bitcoin-node` to allow wallet and gui
processes to connect to the node and access it.

Example usage:

    src/bitcoin-node -regtest -debug -ipcbind=unix
    src/bitcoin-wallet -regtest -ipcconnect=unix info
    src/bitcoin-gui -regtest -ipcconnect=unix
    src/bitcoin-mine -regtest -ipcconnect=unix

Internal c++ interfaces

The following interfaces are defined here:

  • Chain — used by wallet to access blockchain and mempool state. Added in #14437, #14711, #15288, and #10973.

  • ChainClient — used by node to start & stop Chain clients. Added in #14437.

  • Node — used by GUI to start & stop bitcoin node. Added in #10244.

  • Wallet — used by GUI to access wallets. Added in #10244.

  • Handler — returned by handleEvent methods on interfaces above and used to manage lifetimes of event handlers.

  • Init — used by multiprocess code to access interfaces above on startup. Added in #19160.

  • Ipc — used by multiprocess code to access Init interface across processes. Added in #19160.

The interfaces above define boundaries between major components of bitcoin code (node, wallet, and gui), making it possible for them to run in different processes, and be tested, developed, and understood independently. These interfaces are not currently designed to be stable or to be used externally.
