qt: Don't log to console by default
Default `-printtoconsole` to false for the GUI. GUI programs should not print to the console unnecessarily. For example, when launched by the window manager, the output might end up in the X session log file, resulting in duplicate logging. On Windows, it is pointless as well because bitcoin-qt isn't a console application.
