a00ae31fcc rpc: remove deprecated "warning" field from {create,load,restore,unload}wallet (Sebastian Falbesoner)

Pull request description:

  The "warning" string field for wallet creating/loading RPCs (`createwallet`, `loadwallet`, `unloadwallet` and `restorewallet`) has been deprecated with the configuration option `-deprecatedrpc=walletwarningfield` in PR #27279 (released in v25.0). For the next release v26.0, the field and the configuration option can be removed.

+------

+- The `deprecatedrpc=walletwarningfield` configuration option has been removed.
+  The `createwallet`, `loadwallet`, `restorewallet` and `unloadwallet` RPCs no
+  longer return the "warning" string field. The same information is provided
+  through the "warnings" field added in v25.0, which returns a JSON array of
+  strings. The "warning" string field was deprecated also in v25.0. (#27757)
