ipc, refactor: Drop connect/listen/serve exe_name parameters

Pass exe_name parameter to ipc::Protocol class constructor instead. It never
really made sense to have exe parameters as part of the protocol interface and
removing them makes adding new features like windows support easier.

The exe name values are only used for logging and debuggging purposes to
distinguish log messages from different processes.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This is a straightforward internal code cleanup in Bitcoin Core's inter-process communication (IPC) layer. It moves the executable name parameter from individual connect/listen/serve methods into the protocol object's constructor. The executable name is only used for logging and debugging to tell different processes apart. There is no change to security-sensitive behavior, no bug fix, and no externally reported issue.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as normal refactoring review.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
