ci: use bitcoin-node for one depends job
The bitcoin-node binary is built on all platforms which have
multiprocess enabled, but for functional tests it's only used in
CentOS native (depends) job. The next commit will also add a
non-depends job.
What changed, and why it matters
This commit changes a single CI (continuous integration) test configuration file for CentOS. It tells the test runner to use the 'bitcoin-node' binary with multiprocess mode enabled when running functional tests. This is a testing infrastructure change, not a change to the Bitcoin Core software that users run.
No security action required. This is a routine CI configuration change to expand test coverage for the multiprocess `bitcoin-node` binary.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The diff adds export BITCOIN_CMD='bitcoin -m' to ci/test/00_setup_env_native_centos.sh. This environment variable is consumed by the CI functional test framework to select which binary and mode to use. The -m flag enables multiprocess mode. The commit message explains this is expanding CI coverage so that the bitcoin-node binary is exercised in the CentOS native depends job. No source code, consensus logic, networking, or wallet code is modified.
