refactor: Make ThreadSafeMessageBox signal void

The message will always return false (a constant) and the return value
is never used.

Also, annotate ThreadSafeMessageBox in the GUI code as [[nodiscard]],
because it may actually return a value, which is handled for questions
(but not for messages).

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This is a small internal cleanup change in Bitcoin Core. It changes a message-box signal so it no longer returns a value, because the return value was always ignored. It also adds a compiler hint ([[nodiscard]]) to the GUI version to prevent accidentally ignoring its return value in the future. There is no security-relevant behavior change.

Recommended action

No security action needed. Treat as normal code-review/merge for a refactoring commit.
