wallet: Drop mapValue from CWalletTx

It doesn't make sense to be storing relevant metadata variables inside
of a string map in CWalletTx. All of the fields have been pulled out
into separate members, so there is no need for mapValue to stick around.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a routine internal cleanup in Bitcoin Core's wallet code. It removes an old string-to-string metadata map called mapValue from wallet transactions and replaces it with direct typed fields. The change keeps the same data on disk and in RPC output, just organized differently. There is no indication this fixes a security bug or introduces a new vulnerability.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as normal code-quality/maintenance change. Reviewers may verify that wallet.dat backward compatibility is preserved, which the diff indicates it is.
