init: fix fatal error on '-wallet' negated option value
Because we don't have type checking for command-line/settings/config
args, strings are interpreted as 'false' for non-boolean args.
By convention, this "forces" us to interpret negated strings as 'true',
which conflicts with the negated option definition in all the settings
classes (they expect negated options to always be false and ignore any
other value preceding them). Consequently, when retrieving all "wallet"
values from the command-line/settings/config, we also fetch the negated
string boolean value, which is not of the expected 'string' type.

This mismatch leads to an internal fatal error, resulting in an unclean
shutdown during initialization. Furthermore, this error displays a poorly
descriptive error message:
"JSON value of type bool is not of expected type string"

This commit fixes the fatal error by ensuring that only string values are
returned in the "wallet" settings list, failing otherwise. It also improves
the clarity of the returned error message.
