Pull request description:
If a setting like pruning, port mapping, or a network proxy is enabled in the GUI, it will now be stored in the bitcoin persistent setting file in the datadir and shared with bitcoind, instead of being stored as Qt settings which end up in the the windows registry or platform specific config files and are ignored by bitcoind.
This PR has been split off from bitcoin/bitcoin#15936 so some review of these commits previously took place in that PR.
