doc: Update multisig-tutorial.md to use multipath descriptors

Update doc/multisig-tutorial.md to use a single multipath descriptor
instead of separate external/internal descriptors, per PR #22838.
Extract one xpub per participant, build a multipath descriptor with
<0;1> change index, and use getdescriptorinfo to append the checksum.
Clarify importdescriptors expands multipath descriptors into internal
and external forms. Tested shell snippets to confirm equivalent
listdescriptors output as the two-descriptor method.

Added missing loadwallet command for multisig_wallet_01

test: Use multipath descriptors in the functional wallet test
wallet_multisig_descriptor_psbt as this is intended as documentation

doc: replace `bitcoin-cli` with `bitcoin rpc` in multisig-tutorial.md

removed -named parameter where possible.

fixed a couple bugs where -signet was not passed

the call to getcoins.py requires the bitcoin-cli command still

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a documentation and test update only. It changes the multisig tutorial and a related functional test to use a newer single 'multipath' descriptor format instead of two separate descriptors. There is no change to Bitcoin Core's consensus, networking, wallet security logic, or RPC behavior. It does not fix a vulnerability or introduce a security-relevant code change.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as routine documentation/test maintenance.

Security signals we found
