3c06926cf2 refactor: index: use `AbortNode` in fatal error helper (Sebastian Falbesoner)
9ddf7e03a3 move ThreadImport ABC error to use AbortNode (furszy)
Pull request description:
It seems odd to return `EXIT_SUCCESS` when the node aborted execution due a fatal internal error
or any post-init problem that triggers an unrequested shutdown.
e.g. blocks or coins db I/O errors, disconnect block failure, failure during thread import (external
blocks loading process error), among others.

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.
This directory is at the moment
sparsely populated. Eventually more substantial files like
src/validation.cpp and
src/txmempool.cpp might be moved there.
