Addresses (partially) #16779 - no GUI change in this PR
Adds a LocateError function the bech32 library, which is then called by `validateaddress` RPC, (and then eventually from a GUI tool too, future work). I think modifying validateaddress is nicer than adding a separate RPC for this.
Includes tests.
Based on https://github.com/sipa/bech32/blob/master/ecc/javascript/bech32_ecc.js
Credit to sipa for that code

Code review and manually tested ACK 88cc481092
ryanofsky:
Code review ACK 88cc481092 with caveat that I only checked the new `LocateErrors` code to try to verify it didn't have unsafe or unexpected operations or loop forever or crash. Did not try to verify behavior corresponds to the spec. In the worst case bugs here should just affect error messages not actual decoding of addresses so this seemed ok.

The previous diff touched most files in ./test/, so bump the headers to
avoid having to touch them again for a bump later.

This commit addresses #20809.
We add an additional 'error' property in the result of 'validateaddress' in case the address is not valid that gives a short description of why the address in invalid. We also change the error message returned by 'getaddressinfo' in case the address is invalid.
