EXPERIMENTAL warning: This call may not work as expected and may be changed in future releases

Migrate the wallet to a descriptor wallet.
A new wallet backup will need to be made.

file will be named <wallet name>-<timestamp>.legacy.bak and can be found in the directory
for this wallet. In the event of an incorrect migration, the backup can be restored using restorewallet.
Requires wallet passphrase to be set with walletpassphrase call if wallet is encrypted.
