Summary

This PR is an old one, and added the support for Signet BIP325 into core. While the PR is quite a big changeset, the core of the change is not that big. This PR gives a glimpse of how different networks (mainnet, signet, regtest, testnet) are identified by the node, how they are different, how they are tested in the functional testing environment, and how we can configure the local node for different networks.
