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.
This is required for removing the UniValue copy constructor.

a2a92317ad rpc: Add warning to user about newkeypool command (Samuel Dobson)
Pull request description:
This PR prevents `newkeypool` from being run on non-HD wallets, because this would require a new backup every time, so it isn't very safe.
David Harding also suggested [here](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/23093#issuecomment-945350003) that the RPC help text should include a warning to the users about the interaction between newkeypool.

Pull request description:
Fixes#21368
Currently, if there are any uncompressed keys when calling `AddAndGetMultisigDestination`, it will just default to a legacy address regardless of the chosen `address_type`. Rather than keeping this silent behaviour which may be confusing to users, we explicitly add a `warnings` field which will warn the user why their address format is different.
