Andrew Chow f1ee37319a wallet: Reload previously loaded wallets on GUI startup
Enable the GUI to also use the load_on_startup feature.
Wallets loaded in the GUI always have load_on_startup=true.
When they are unloaded from the GUI, load_on_startup=false.

To facilitate this change, UpdateWalletSetting is moved into the wallet
module and called from within LoadWallet, RemoveWallet, and
Createwallet. This change does not actually touch the GUI code but
rather the wallet functions that are shared between the GUI and RPC.

Configuration

Wallets created or loaded in the GUI will now be automatically loaded on startup, so they don't need to be manually reloaded next time Bitcoin is started. The list of wallets to load on startup is stored in \<datadir\>/settings.json and augments any command line or bitcoin.conf -wallet= settings that specify more wallets to load. Wallets that are unloaded in the GUI get removed from the settings list so they won't load again automatically next startup. (#19754)

The createwallet, loadwallet, and unloadwallet RPCs now accept load_on_startup options to modify the settings list. Unless these options are explicitly set to true or false, the list is not modified, so the RPC methods remain backwards compatible. (#15937)
