Merge #13043: [qt] OptionsDialog: add prune setting
cbede7dbfde83d53ef38d257e9940af5f163b03c [qt] OptionsDialog: add prune setting (Sjors Provoost)
Pull request description:
The default suggested value is 2 GB. Minimum is 1 GB (550 MB rounded up).
When the user toggles this setting, a strong warning appears that undoing requires re-downloading the chain:

Tooltip points out that actual disk usage can be higher. It's a bit vague on the "advanced features", because I'm assuming anyone who needs to use `-rescan` and `-txindex` will read the documentation, and a more detailed text would needlessly confuse everyone else.

The UI uses gigabytes for readability and easy of use. There is also no manual pruning UI (`prune=1`). The user will have to use `bitcoin.conf` for those things.
Fixes #6461. When combined with #13029 the user, after pruning their node, can safely reset settings and/or use bitcoind without having to edit `bitcoin.conf`. However I don't think that's an essential prerequisite.
