Pull request description:
Don't use global (external) symbols for symbols that are used in only one translation unit.
Before:
```
$ for SYMBOL in $(nm src/bitcoind | grep -E ' [BD] ' | c++filt | cut -f3- -d' ' | grep -v @ | grep -v : | sort | grep '[a-z]' | sort -u | grep -vE '(^_|typeinfo|vtable)'); do
REFERENCES=$(git grep -lE "([^a-zA-Z]|^)${SYMBOL}([^a-zA-Z]|\$)" -- "*.cpp" "*.h")
N_REFERENCES=$(wc -l <<< "${REFERENCES}")
if [[ ${N_REFERENCES} > 1 ]]; then
continue
fi
echo "Global symbol ${SYMBOL} is used in only one translation unit: ${REFERENCES}"
done
Global symbol g_chainstate is used in only one translation unit: src/validation.cpp
Global symbol g_ui_signals is used in only one translation unit: src/ui_interface.cpp
Global symbol instance_of_cmaincleanup is used in only one translation unit: src/validation.cpp
Global symbol instance_of_cnetcleanup is used in only one translation unit: src/net.cpp
Global symbol instance_of_cnetprocessingcleanup is used in only one translation unit: src/net_processing.cpp
Global symbol pindexBestForkBase is used in only one translation unit: src/validation.cpp
Global symbol pindexBestForkTip is used in only one translation unit: src/validation.cpp
$
```
After:
```
$ for SYMBOL in $(nm src/bitcoind | grep -E ' [BD] ' | c++filt | cut -f3- -d' ' | grep -v @ | grep -v : | sort | grep '[a-z]' | sort -u | grep -vE '(^_|typeinfo|vtable)'); do
REFERENCES=$(git grep -lE "([^a-zA-Z]|^)${SYMBOL}([^a-zA-Z]|\$)" -- "*.cpp" "*.h")
N_REFERENCES=$(wc -l <<< "${REFERENCES}")
if [[ ${N_REFERENCES} > 1 ]]; then
continue
fi
echo "Global symbol ${SYMBOL} is used in only one translation unit: ${REFERENCES}"
done
$
```

Backport of Core PR16092
I followed the test plan in the original PR, but do not see those global symbols on master to begin with.
Regardless, this brings our codebase more inline with Core for future backporting's sake.
