Remove GUI settings migration from Bitcoin ABC

BigBlockIfTrue requested to merge BigBlockIfTrue/bitcoin-cash-node:v23/no-settings-migration into master

Now that Bitcoin ABC is on a separate blockchain, it no longer makes sense to automatically import GUI settings from Bitcoin ABC. This simplifies the bitcoin-qt startup process.

Background: this code was originally written by @cculianu for Bitcoin ABC in 2017 to import settings from Bitcoin Core, then forgotten, and then repurposed for Bitcoin Cash Node in 2020 to import settings from Bitcoin ABC.

Test plan: ninja check bitcoin-qt;src/qt/bitcoin-qt
