It's not necessary to set up an entire CWallet just so we can get access
to the WalletDatabase and read the records. Instead we can go one level
lower and make just a WalletDatabase.
DataStream Serialize method has surprising behavior because it just serializes
raw bytes without a length prefix. When you serialize a string or vector, a
length prefix is serialized before the raw object contents so the object can be
unambiguously deserialized later. But DataStreams don't support deserializing
at all and just dump the raw bytes.
Having this inconsistency is not necessary and could be confusing (see
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/27790#discussion_r1212315030) so this
PR just drops the DataStream::Serialize method.
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.
The fs.* files are already part of the libbitcoin_util library. With the
introduction of the fs_helpers.* it makes sense to move fs.* into the
util/ directory as well.
Since we no longer store a ref to the global `ArgsManager`
inside the wallet, we can move the util/system.h
include to the cpp.
This dependency removal opened a can of worms, as few
other places were, invalidly, depending on the wallet's
header including it.

d79e8dcf29 wallet: Have cursor users use DatabaseCursor directly (Andrew Chow)
7a198bba0a wallet: Introduce DatabaseCursor RAII class for managing cursor (Andrew Chow)
69efbc011b Move SafeDbt out of BerkeleyBatch (Andrew Chow)
Pull request description:
Instead of having database cursors be tied to a particular `DatabaseBatch` object and requiring its setup and teardown be separate functions in that batch, we can have cursors be separate RAII classes. This makes it easier to create and destroy cursors as well as having cursors that have slightly different behaviors.
Additionally, since reading data from a cursor is a tri-state, this PR changes the return value of the `Next` function (formerly `ReadAtCursor`) to return an Enum rather than the current system of 2 booleans. This greatly simplifies and unifies the code that deals with cursors as now there is no confusion as to what the function returns when there are no records left to be read.

Next()'s result is a tri-state - failed, more to go, complete. Replace
the way that this is returned with an enum with values FAIL, MORE, and
DONE rather than with two booleans.
Warning: Replacing fs::system_complete calls with fs::absolute calls
in this commit may cause minor changes in behaviour because fs::absolute
no longer strips trailing slashes; however these changes are believed to
be safe.

fa5d2e678c Remove unused char serialize (MarcoFalke)
fa24493d63 Use spans of std::byte in serialize (MarcoFalke)
fa65bbf217 span: Add BytePtr helper (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
This changes the serialize code (`.read()` and `.write()` functions) to take a `Span` instead of a pointer and size. This is a breaking change for the serialize interface, so at no additional cost we can also switch to `std::byte` (instead of using `char`).
The benefits of using `Span`:
* Less verbose and less fragile code when passing an already existing `Span`(-like) object to or from serialization
The benefits of using `std::byte`:
* `std::byte` can't accidentally be mistaken for an integer
The goal here is to only change serialize to use spans of `std::byte`. If needed, `AsBytes`, `MakeUCharSpan`, ... can be used (temporarily) to pass spans of the right type.

There is no change in behavior. This just helps prepare for the
transition from boost::filesystem to std::filesystem by avoiding calls
to methods which will be unsafe after the transaction to std::filesystem
to due lack of a boost::filesystem::path::imbue equivalent and inability
to set a predictable locale.
