The preceding "Unable to parse settings file" message lacked
the necessary detail and guidance for users on what steps to
take next in order to resolve the startup error.

Instead of passing the datadir and chain name to os.path.join, just use
the existing properties, which are the same.

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

fa48405ef8 Warn on unknown rw_settings (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
Log a warning to debug log if unknown settings are encountered. This should probably only ever happen when the software is upgraded.
Something similar is already done for the command line and config file. See:
* test: Add test for unknown args #16234 (commit fa7dd88b71)

Code review ACK fa48405ef8. Looks good and I could see this being helpful for debugging. Thanks for taking suggestions

- Get rid of hardcoded wallet "" names and -wallet="" args
- Get rid of setup_nodes (-wallet, -nowallet, -disablewallet) argument rewriting
Motivation:
- Simplify test framework behavior so it's easier to write new tests without
having arguments mangled by the framework
- Make tests more readable, replacing unexplained "" string literals with
default_wallet_name references
- Make it trivial to update default wallet name and wallet data filename for
sqlite #19077 testing
- Stop relying on -wallet arguments to create wallets, so it is easy to change
-wallet option in the future to only load existing wallets not create new
ones (to avoid accidental wallet creation, and encourage use of wallet
encryption and descriptor features)
Persistent settings are used in followup PRs #15936 to unify gui settings
between bitcoin-qt and bitcoind, and #15937 to add a load_on_startup flag to
the loadwallet RPC and maintain a dynamic list of wallets that should be loaded
on startup that also can be shared between bitcoind and bitcoin-qt.
