This make it possible to import descriptors including taproot(tr). Some other functions don't work anymore with the new wallet, e.g. import addresses, is_wachonly. Hence use replacement functions in those cases.
…y are used for xpubs. Therefore remove the label also form the imported single addresses.

Hi,
I just wanted to add add the descriptor and taproot support for eps.
But then it let to more changes as intended that were needed. So I let this PR here and you can use it for later, because it works.
The problem is the legacy wallet is not able to handle taproot addresses.
wallet options:
legacy(berkley) - no
importdescriptors, no taproot-addresses in generalnew(sqlite) - no
importmulti, noimportaddressesThis leads to the conclusion that the use of the new-descriptor wallet is mandatory and comes with some obstacles:
Because of having a current version of Core + creating a new wallet it's a bit much effort for an update.
Maybe the rpc
upgradewalletis an option to keep the effort low.
