Re-thinking bitcoin-cli -getinfo #17314

Now that getinfo is no longer part of the RPC API, and client-side implementation is not subject to API stability, it's possible to start thinking about making it more user friendly.

I've made a start in #17302 by adding some status fields.

Some other potential ideas:

  • Remove noise: fields that users are unlikely to want to query often protocolversion, walletversion, keypoololdest (these three were done in util: remove unwanted fields from bitcoin-cli -getinfo #17650)
  • Multiwallet: List balance per wallet
  • List all proxies, at least if they're different from the IPv4 one
  • Alternative, more human-friendly, format besides JSON? Colors, progress bars 😄?
