wallet: Make CWalletTx "from" and "message" member variables

explicitly as members of CWalletTx.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This is a small code cleanup in Bitcoin Core's wallet. It moves two very old, rarely-used pieces of transaction metadata—'from' and 'message'—out of a generic key/value map and into explicit named fields. The change preserves the same data and behavior, just makes the code clearer. It is not a security fix and does not appear to introduce a meaningful vulnerability.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as normal code maintenance. Reviewers may optionally verify that the serialization/deserialization round-trip preserves 'from'/'message' values exactly as before.

Security signals we found

01

No security-relevant change: pure refactor of deprecated metadata fields

02

HTML escaping of 'from' and 'message' remains unchanged in Qt UI

03

Backward-compatible serialization preserves existing wallet data

04

No new network, RPC, or consensus behavior
