Title

Improve description of the `filename` parameter of `loadwallet` RPC

Description

### Motivation As the documentation for the [`loadwallet`](https://bitcoincore.org/en/doc/27.0.0/rpc/wallet/loadwallet/) RPC describes, the syntax is: loadwallet "filename" ( load_on_startup ) And it further specifies: Arguments: 1. filename (string, required) The wallet directory or .dat file. … What’s not clearly specified in the documentation is that you are to provide the filename _relative to the wallet directory_ `~/.bitcoin/regtest/wallets`. It would be great if the documentation were improved in that regard. ### Possible solution - Improve the documentation for `loadwallet` to specify that the filename should be provided as the relative path from the wallet directory. - Add an example where a wallet is loaded from a different directory ### Useful Skills * `git` fundamentals ### Guidance for new contributors Want to work on this issue?
