Merge #16725: Don't show addresses or P2PK in decoderawtransaction

6d803494b5 Don't show addresses or P2PK in decoderawtransaction (nicolas.dorier)

Pull request description:

  I spent significant amount of time explaining to people that satoshi did not had any "bitcoin address", because bitcoin address was not existing at the time.

  Then I need to explain them that all blockchain explorer are wrong. Then I understood that the source of this widespread mistake come from Bitcoin Core itself.

  This mistake is having widespread impact, as developer thinks P2PK are addresses, they start running into issues when somebody send a P2PK payment to them and then they don't understand why they can't sign it like a P2PKH.
