Merge #14409: utils and libraries: Make 'blocksdir' always net specific

e4a0c35 Improve blocksdir functional test. (Hennadii Stepanov)
c3f1821 Make blockdir always net specific (Hennadii Stepanov)

Pull request description:

  The blocks directory is net specific by definition.

  Also this prevents the side effect of calling `GetBlocksDir(false)` in the non-mainnet environment.
  Currently a new node creates an unused `blocks\` directory in the root of the data directory when `-testnet` or `-regtest` is specified.
