Rescan startup parameter removed

The -rescan startup parameter has been removed. Wallets which require
rescanning due to corruption will still be rescanned on startup.
Otherwise, please use the rescanblockchain RPC to trigger a rescan. (#23123)

Any reason for this?

Just due to me playing with nodes all the time I actually use it a far amount.
The issue at least for me is that on some older / slower devices there can be a LONG delay between when you start the daemon and it actually is ready to respond to a command.
-rescan was a 'fire and forget'

Either way thanks to you and all the others who work on it.
