faeb6665362e35f573ad715ade0ef2db62d71839 util: Add CHECK_NONFATAL and use it in src/rpc (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
Fixes #17181
Currently, we use `assert` in RPC code to document logic and code assumptions. However, it seems a bit extreme to abort all of Bitcoin Core on an assert failure in one of the RPC threads. I suggest to replace all `assert`s with a macro `CHECK_NONFATAL(condition)` that throws a runtime error when the condition evaluates to `false`. That runtime error will then be returned to the rpc caller and will include instructions to report the error to our issue tracker.

Backport of Core PR17192
This is an out-of-order backport so that the older backports can be done without the asserts.
