Rewrite bitcoin-cli

btc-cli
https://github.com/8144225309/btc-cli

Drop-in clone of Bitcoin Core's bitcoin-cli with custom features for node operators. Modify CLI behavior without touching the node.

Example: sendrawtransaction queue with automatic retry and independent verification - query a DNS seed, connect to random peers, confirm the tx exists in their inventories via P2P getdata.

I like this idea better than using the bitcoin-cli; trusting the rpc; and then trusting the node has peers that can accept the tx at the time the tx is sent. This should enable us to remove most trust assumptions and verify each step.

The enhanced broadcast features are available on this branch:

One or two of the fallback modes work but the cli replacement tool lacks TLS/https/http2 support, will add after I review PRs tonight!

I believe this qualifies more as a wrapper over the usual bitcoin-cli, rather than a clone, unless I'm mixing something up.
