Merge #12101: Clamp walletpassphrase timeout to 2^30 seconds and check its bounds

134cdc7 Test walletpassphrase timeout bounds and clamping (Andrew Chow)
0b63e3c Clamp walletpassphrase timeout to 2^(30) seconds and check its bounds (Andrew Chow)

Pull request description:

  Fixes #12100

  Makes the timeout be clamped to 2^30 seconds to avoid the issue with sign flipping with large timeout values and thus relocking the wallet instantly. Unlocking for at most ~34 years should be sufficient.

  Also checks that the timeout is not negative to avoid instant relocks.
