RPC
---
- The `listdescriptors` RPC now shows `h` rather than apostrophe (`'`) to indicate
- The `listdescriptors`, `decodepsbt` and similar RPC methods now show `h` rather than apostrophe (`'`) to indicate
hardened derivation. This does not apply when using the `private` parameter, which
matches the marker used when descriptor was generated or imported. Newly created
wallets use `h`. This change makes it easier to handle descriptor strings manually.
E.g. an RPC call that takes an array of descriptors can now use '["desc": ".../0h/..."]'.
Either `h` or `'` can still be used when providing a descriptor to e.g. `getdescriptorinfo`
or `importdescriptors`. Note that this choice changes the descriptor checksum.
E.g. the `importdescriptors` RPC call is easiest to use `h` as the marker: `'["desc": ".../0h/..."]'`.
With this change `listdescriptors` will use `h`, so you can copy-paste the result,
without having to add escape characters or switch `'` to 'h' manually.
Note that this changes the descriptor checksum.
For legacy wallets the `hdkeypath` field in `getaddressinfo` is unchanged,
nor is the serialization format of wallet dumps. (#26076)
