Pull request description:

  Big picture overview in [this gist](https://gist.github.com/Sjors/29d06728c685e6182828c1ce9b74483d).

  This PR adds GUI support for external signers, based on the since merged bitcoin/bitcoin#16546 (RPC).

  The UX isn't amazing - especially the blocking calls - but it works.

  First we adds a GUI setting for the signer script (e.g. path to HWI):

  Then we add an external signer checkbox to the wallet creation dialog:

  It's checked by default if HWI detects a device. It also grabs the name. It then creates a fresh wallet and imports the keys.

  You can verify an address on the device (blocking...):

  Sending, including coin selection, Just Works(tm) as long the device is present.

  ~External signer support is enabled by default when the GUI is configured and Boost::Process is present.~

  External signer support remains disabled by default, see https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/21935.

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.
