rpc: Move the `generate` RPC call to rpcwallet

This makes it possible to mine to any wallet when multi-wallet mode is added.
Solves the same problem as #10649, but IMO in a cleaner way.

It also gets rid of the circuitous `ScriptForMining` method on
`CValidationInterface`, which really doesn't belong there.

After this change it's still possible to mine without wallet through
`generatetoaddress`.
