Merge #12617: gui: Show messages as text not html

6fbc0986f gui: Show messages as text not html (Wladimir J. van der Laan)

Pull request description:

  Currently, error messages (such as InitError) are displayed as-is, which means Qt does auto detection on the format.

  This means that it's possible to inject HTML from the command line though e.g. specifying a wallet name with HTML in it. This isn't a direct security risk because fetching content from internet is
  disabled (and as far as I know we never report strings received from the network this way). However, it can be confusing.

  So explicitly force the format as text.
