Pull request description:
This adds a checkbox to the intro screen to enable pruning from the get go.
If the user has plenty of space, it's unchecked by default:

If the user has insufficient space it's checked by default:
<img width="897" alt="low" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/10217/63641276-d4002f80-c6ab-11e9-9f5b-a53472f814ff.png">
When the user has barely enough space and is likely to need pruning in the near future, this is shown in yellow and we also check the prune box:

The cut-off for this 10 GB above `m_assumed_blockchain_size` (`=240` in `chainparams.cpp`).
If the user launches the first time with `-prune=...` then we disable the check box and display the correct size (rounded to GB):

The 2 GB default matches the settings default. The user can't change it in the intro screen, but can change it later. I'm tempted to increase that default to 10 GB, and then have the intro screen reduce it if space is really tight.
Tips for testing:
* move your existing data dir elsewhere
* wipe data dir at every restart (behavior is different if it exists)
* launch with `bitcoin-qt -resetguisettings -lang=en` (there's some space issues in different languages)
* fake your free space by changing `intro.cpp` line 90: `freeBytesAvailable = 5000000000; // 5 GB`
* try both testnet and mainnet, because settings are seperate. In particular note how step 7 in `GuiMain` switches where `QTSettings settings` points to; this had me thoroughly confused on testnet, because I was setting them too early.

utACK 9924bce317b96ab0c57efb99330abd11b6f16b9a. The changes are very logical, and implement the feature in a clean that way that doesn't add a lot of complication and shouldn't interfere with future improvements. I looked at Luke's branch too, and I think there's also a lot of great stuff there that seems fully compatible with this change.
