The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a user-facing checkbox in the Bitcoin Core desktop wallet that lets someone choose whether to automatically load a wallet after migrating it from an older format. Previously the wallet was always loaded. The change is a usability improvement, not a security fix, and does not introduce any obvious vulnerability.

Recommended action

No security action required; treat as routine feature review. If auditing, verify the downstream `MigrateLegacyToDescriptor` correctly handles `load_wallet=false` without leaving state inconsistent.
