Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
No visual progress is displayed during import descriptors although rescanning the blockchain for transactions is a potentially slow operation.

Describe the solution you'd like
Stop bitcoind and start bitcoin-qt before importing descriptors in bails-wallet

Describe alternatives you've considered
Running bitcoin-qt the entire time bails-wallet is running. This provides an opportunity for distraction and consumes more resources making the GUI potentially laggy.

This is solved by #161 which uses bitcoin-qt -min -server to handle the rpc commands.

This is best since restarting Bitcoin before the headers download causes a complete loss of progress. As well as a complete flushing of caches if they get even further along.
