cd97905ebc cmake: Move internal binaries from bin/ to libexec/ (Ryan Ofsky)
Pull request description:
This change moves binaries that are not typically invoked directly by users from the `bin/` directory to the `libexec/` directory in CMake installs and binary releases. The goal of the PR is to introduce a distinction between internal and external binaries so starting with #31802, we can use IPC to implement features in new binaries without adding those binaries to the CLI. The change also helps reduce clutter in `bin/`, making it easier for users to identify useful tools to run. Summary of changes:
- For **source builds** (i.e. developer builds) — There are no changes.
- For **source installs** (i.e. `cmake --install` result) — `test_bitcoin`, `test_bitcoin-qt`, and `bench_bitcoin` are installed in `${CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH}/libexec` instead of `${CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH}/bin`, so they are no longer on the system `PATH`. However, they can still be invoked from the `libexec/` directory, or from the CLI as `bitcoin test`, `bitcoin test-gui`, and `bitcoin bench`, respectively.
- For **binary releases** — Since `test_bitcoin` is the only test binary enabled in releases, the only change is moving `test_bitcoin` from `bin/` to `libexec/`.
