gui: Unregister wallet notifications before unloading wallets

This change was originally part of both bitcoin/bitcoin#10102 and
bitcoin/bitcoin#19101 and is required for both because it avoids the IPC
wallet implementation in bitcoin/bitcoin#10102 and the WalletContext
implementation in bitcoin/bitcoin#19101 needing to deal with
notification objects that have stale pointers to deleted wallets.
