kernel: Add chain params context option to C header

As a first option, add the chainparams. For now these can only be
instantiated with default values. In future they may be expanded to take
their own options for regtest and signet configurations.

This commit also introduces a unique pattern for setting the option
values when calling the `*_set(...)` function.
