Merge bitcoin#20199: wallet: ignore (but warn) on duplicate -wallet parameters

58cfbc3 Ignoring (but warn) on duplicate -wallet parameters (Jonas Schnelli)

Pull request description:

  I expect that there are many users with load on startup wallet definitions in `bitcoin.conf` or via startup CLI argument.
  With the new `settings.json` r/w configuration file, users unloading and loading a wallet through the GUI or via the RPC calls might end up with a duplicate `-wallet` entry (one that still remains in bitcoin.conf or CLI) plus the new duplication in `settings.json` due to the unload/load.

  Steps to reproduce
  * create wallet (if via RPC set `load_on_startup` or unloadwallet/loadwallet then set `load_on_startup`).
  * stop bitcoin
  * start bitcoind again with same `--wallet=mywallet`

  I guess it is acceptable to skip duplicates.
