Tidy changes to remove the last references to global `gArgs` from util/system.cpp (besides the global declaration).

Since 5497c14, verify-commits.py uses `git merge-tree` which requires git v2.38 or later. Fix the lint jobs on master (e.g. https://cirrus-ci.com/task/4971007513985024).

Need to adapt `BitcoinUnits::formatWithPrivacy` function to accept negative amounts. Otherwise, when the wallet make a send, the assertion crashes the software.

nit: Looks like this shouldn't have been called on `gArgs` regardless of this PR, perhaps useful to split out in separate commit? In the 3 callsites of `ArgsManager::ReadConfigFiles` I see, it is only called on `gArgs` anyway, so I don't see any actual behaviour change/potential bug because of it.

This will reach EOL in less than a year and thus fail CI tasks when the tag is deleted. What about using https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/git ?

Might be worth updating a few other things at the same time if you continue to move ahead:

* This comment: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/27101/files#diff-188b88992c9e08a108e852e7f69a2c2c6569d4b1212c9d05c46fdfd7fcb778d7R21-R27
* [HelpExampleRPC()](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/rpc/util.cpp#L157-L161) to json 2.0
* Could warrant a release note to document new behaviours when using json 2.0

Which OS did you try on? See also the header:

```
# Note that suppressions may depend on OS and/or library versions.

(https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/26966#issuecomment-1448113513)
PR updated, most of it implementation has changed.

The news are:
1) Decreased ThreadSync `cs_main` lock contention.
2) Removed `CBlockIndex` access from the child indexes internals.
3) Implemented generic workers pool.
4) Introduced a last header cache for the Block Filter index. Avoiding disk reads on every new processed block.
5) Enabled parallel sync on the tx index.

Important Note:
The introduced workers pool spawned by the `-indexworkers` init arg is shared among all the enabled

(https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/27176)
Since #27073, the behaviour of GetDataDir changed to only return the datadir path, but not create it. This also changed the behaviour of GetDataDirNet and GetDataDirBase but the docs do not yet reflect that.

Fixes #27129

Call `send_self_transfer` passing, in case of coinbase tx, a surely mature one to avoid `bad-txns-premature-spend-of-coinbase`.

I wonder if this can instead be fixed by making `get_utxo` not return immature coinbases by default?

It's a good idea, going to do it.

What about this assertion? Couldn't `ReadBlockFromDisk` return false if the block is not on disk anymore?
