b2813980b8 init: disallow reindex-chainstate when pruning (Martin Zumsande)

Pull request description:

  The combination of `-reindex-chainstate` and `-prune` currently makes the node stuck in an endless loop:

  - `LoadChainstate()` will wipe the existing chainstate (so we have no genesis block anymore). It won't clean up unusable block files by calling `CleanupBlockRevFiles()` as for full `-reindex`.
  - `ThreadImport()` has [logic](91d12344b1/src/node/blockstorage.cpp (L855)) of reloading Genesis after reindexing. This is what makes full `-reindex` work with `-prune` but it's not executed for `-reindex-chainstate`.
  - Since we still don't have a genesis block, init will wait for it forever in an endless loop ([code](91d12344b1/src/init.cpp (L1630-L1640))).

  Fix this by disallowing `-reindex-chainstate` together with `-prune`. This is discouraged in the help for `-reindex-chainstate` anyway ("When in pruning mode or if blocks on disk might be corrupted, use full -reindex instead.") but wasn't enforced.

  Fixes #24242
