Remove g_rpc_chain global

Replace with RPC request reference to new WalletContext struct similar to the
existing NodeContext struct and reference.

This PR is a followup to 25ad2c623a
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/18740 removing the g_rpc_node global.

Some later PRs will follow this up and move more wallet globals to the
WalletContext struct.
