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.

Pull request description:
Fixes https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/13213.
Mostly, I layed out the concept to open the PR for refinement and getting feedback if the approach is okay. Changes are expected.
Two points:
- The values for both new consts `TESTNET_BLOCK_CHAIN_SIZE` and `TESTNET_CHAIN_STATE_SIZE` is certainly not optimal; I just checked the size of my testnet3 related dirs and set them to little bit higher values. Which values should be used?
- Should we do something like this to regtest? Or these "niceties" do not matter when on regtest?
Thanks!

- Creates m_assumed_blockchain_size and m_assumed_chain_state_size on CChainParams.
- Implements access to CChainParams' m_assumed_blockchain_size and m_assumed_chain_state_size on node interface.
- Implements m_assumed_blockchain_size and m_assumed_chain_state_size on qt/intro via node interface.
- Updates release process document with the new CChainParam's values.
This makes all include paths in the GUI absolute.
Many changes are involved as every single source file in
src/qt/ assumes to be able to use relative includes.
- Increase `BLOCK_CHAIN_SIZE` from 120GB to 150GB
- Increase `CHAIN_STATE_SIZE` from 2GB to 4GB
I took the local sizes of the blocks and chainstate directory, and added
a bit extra to accomodate the near future (15GB for the chain and 1GB
for the chainstate).
Use case: TryCreateDirectory(GetDataDir() / "blocks" / "index") would
fail if the blocks directory was not explicitly created before.
The line that did so was in a weird location and could be removed as a
result.

The `pickDataDirectory()` function was calling `exit(0)` to quit
the application when the user closes the dialog without choosing
a data directory.
This is a bad idea because a background thread is created (to
check free space on the drive of the currently selected datadir).
The thread is not stopped and unwound properly, resulting in a potential
race condition somewhere deep in Qt.
So replace the `exit()` by a boolean return value, and let the
stack unwind normally.
Introduce a PlatformStyle to handle platform-specific customization of
the UI.
This replaces 'scicon', as well as #ifdefs to determine whether to place
icons on buttons.
The selected PlatformStyle defaults to the platform that the application
was compiled on, but can be overridden from the command line with
`-uiplatform=<x>`.
Also fixes the warning from #6328.
QT_NO_KEYWORDS prevents Qt from defining the `foreach`, `signals`,
`slots` and `emit` macros.
Avoid overlap between Qt macros and boost - for example #undef hackiness
in #6421.
