qt: Avoid crash on startup if int specified in settings.json

Fix GUI startup crash reported by Rspigler in
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/24457 that happens if
settings.json contains an integer value for any of the configuration
options which GUI settings can currently clash with (-dbcache, -par,
-spendzeroconfchange, -signer, -upnp, -natpmp, -listen, -server, -proxy,
-proxy, -onion, -onion, -lang, and -prune).

Fix is a one-line change in ArgsManager::GetArg.
