Merge #15492: [rpc] remove deprecated generate method

07cae5287c [wallet] remove unused GetScriptForMining (Sjors Provoost)
8bb3e4c487 [rpc] remove deprecated generate method (Sjors Provoost)

Pull request description:

  As announced in v0.18, the wallet generate rpc method is deprecated and will be fully removed in v0.19.

  Clients should transition to using the node rpc method `generatetoaddress`.

+Deprecated or removed RPCs
+--------------------------
+- The wallet's `generate` RPC method was deprecated in v0.18 and has now
+  been fully removed.  This RPC is only used for
+  testing, but its implementation reached across multiple subsystems
+  (wallet and mining), so it has been removed to simplify the
+  wallet-node interface.  Projects that are using `generate` for testing
+  purposes should transition to using the `generatetoaddress` RPC, which
+  does not require or use the wallet component. Calling
+  `generatetoaddress` with an address returned by the `getnewaddress`
+  RPC gives the same functionality as the old `generate` RPC.
