Concept ACK.

From the CI output, this has to wait for #30283 to be merged first, right?

## Why this change?

https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/30269 describes a need for documentation improvement with the `loadwallet` RPC. Namely, [some users have found](https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/123331/how-do-you-load-a-regtest-wallet) the usage description confusing when it comes to loading wallets that are not in the normal case of being in the default wallet directory.

The default wallet directory, depending on the machine OS, has the base directory defined here:

This is wrong. Absolute paths are allowed.

Not sure if it's supposed to be deterministic, but here you go:

Thanks for the review. Is this description better?
```
You may pass in the absolute path of your wallet directory or .dat file. Otherwise, the interpreted path will be relative to the default wallet directory.

(https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/30302#discussion_r1644869283)
Do sqlite wallets allow `.dat` files to be passed, or is this only for BDB legacy wallets?

I can also add examples that load wallet using an absolute path.

(https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/29431#discussion_r1644874521)
Removing the possibility of 0 garbage in `EncryptedP2PState` just to make this test nicer is a bit unfortunate in my opinion: If the node had a bug dealing with zero-length garbage, the test framework wouldn't be able to catch that anymore. Can't we change it locally just for the test cases who need it?

Drops two of our patches that have been merged upstream and adjusts the other to deal with recent changes.

Follow-up from #30283. I can't vouch for the upstream changes here.

💬 mzumsande commented on pull request "assumeutxo: Check snapshot base block is not in invalid chain":
(https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/30267#discussion_r1644893828)
Looks good (except for the compiler issue with `Join()`) - I think it would be helpful to not only log the reason, but also return them with the RPC - for that, `ActivateSnapshot()` would need to return it, possibly as `util::Result` as suggested by ryanofsky, but that could be a follow-up.
Though for now, it might be helpful to expand the error ("Unable to load UTXO snapshot") to point the user to the debug log for the reason.

In commit "net: Add PCP and NATPMP implementation":

Nit: `check_packet({response, recvsz})` should work too (if no type is listed, the corresponding constructor of the declared type is used).
