Correct units for "-dbcache" and "-prune"

All dbcache-related values in the code are measured in MiB (not in
megabytes, MB) or in bytes.
The GUI "-prune" values in GB are translated to the node values in MiB
correctly. The maximum of the "-prune" QSpinBox is not limited by the
default value of 99 (GB).
Also, this improves log readability.
