Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#33229: multiprocess: Don't require bitcoin -m argument when IPC options are used

453b0fa286 bitcoin: Make wrapper not require -m (Ryan Ofsky)
29e836fae6 test: add tool_bitcoin to test bitcoin wrapper behavior (Ryan Ofsky)
0972f55040 init: add exe name to bitcoind, bitcoin-node -version output to be able to distinguish these in tests (Ryan Ofsky)

Pull request description:

  This change makes the `bitcoin` command respect IPC command line options and _bitcoin.conf_ settings, so IPC listening can be enabled by just running `bitcoin node -ipcbind=unix` or `bitcoin node` with `ipcbind=unix` in the configuration file, and there is no longer a need to specify a multiprocess `-m` option like `bitcoin -m node [...]`

  sipa and theuni in #31802 pointed out that users shouldn't be exposed to multiprocess implementation details just to use IPC features, so current need to specify the `bitcoin -m` option in conjunction with `-ipcbind` could be seen as a design mistake and not just a usage inconvenience.

  This PR also adds a dedicated functional test for the `bitcoin` wrapper command and to make sure it calls the right binaries and test the new functionality.
