Russell Yanofsky 4d074e84a2 [build] Move AnalyzePSBT from psbt.cpp to node/psbt.cpp
psbt.cpp definitions except for AnalyzePSBT are used by the wallet and need to
be linked into the wallet binary. AnalyzePSBT is an exception in that it is not
used by the wallet, and depends on node classes like CCoinsViewCache, and on
node global variables like nBytesPerSigOp.

So AnalyzePSBT is more at home in libbitcoin_server than libbitcoin_common, and
in any case needs to be defined in a separate object file than other PSBT
utilities, to avoid dragging link dependencies on node functions and global
variables into the wallet.

src/node/

The src/node/ directory contains code that needs to access node state (state in CChain, CBlockIndex, CCoinsView, CTxMemPool, and similar classes).

Code in src/node/ is meant to be segregated from code in src/wallet/ and src/qt/, to ensure wallet and GUI code changes don't interfere with node operation, to allow wallet and GUI code to run in separate processes, and to perhaps eventually allow wallet and GUI code to be maintained in separate source repositories.

As a rule of thumb, code in one of the src/node/, src/wallet/, or src/qt/ directories should avoid calling code in the other directories directly, and only invoke it indirectly through the more limited src/interfaces/ classes.

The src/node/ directory is a new directory introduced in #14978 and at the moment is sparsely populated. Eventually more substantial files like src/validation.cpp and src/txmempool.cpp might be moved there.
