Research direction

Start by tracing how --address-key, --address-pub-key, and --full-address-derivation-path are handled. Compare the requested root and parent fingerprint behavior, including the proposed default for multisig and descriptor-centric wallets; done means the selected options produce the fingerprint and derivation path before the extended key.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

But what I really want for --full-address-derivation-path with 48' is an option, --add-root-fingerprint or --add-parent-fingerprint with address-key and address-pub-key that adds the root or parent fingerprint and path to the front of the result, i.e. [feebfc32/48h/0h/0h/2h]xpubDERVIEDKEY. Maybe also for other options like --master-key

I think for our purposes (multisig and descriptor centric wallets) --add-root-fingerprint could even be a default.
