Merge #14020: Add tests for RPC help

6af6d9b23d test: Add tests for RPC help (João Barbosa)

Pull request description:

  At the moment the new test checks for:
   - invalid usages
   - expected output for unknown command
   - current RPC command titles (derived from command categories) — this prevents adding wrong RPC categories and new categories must be added to the test
