GUI: Rephrase Bech32 checkbox texts, and enable it with legacy address default #13251

   • “Bech32” isn’t very user-friendly; used “native segwit” as in #11937.
   • You don’t spend from addresses.
   • No reason to block off Bech32 access with legacy address default.

   Rebased from #12208

2. GUI: Rephrase Bech32 checkbox text/tooltip

   - "Bech32" isn't very user-friendly
   - You don't spend from addresses

    I think a better tooltip would be “Native segwit addresses (Bech32) reduce your transaction fees later on and offer better protection against typos, but are unsupported by old wallets. When unchecked, an address compatible with older wallets will be created instead.”

    But otherwise utACK https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/13251/commits/82dda6bed971c5638962442b4927845fe5eb6600
