Title

Should be able to import an xpub descriptor to a privkey-enabled wallet if the wallet has the privkeys

Description

### Please describe the feature you'd like to see added. If you have a privkey-enabled wallet, you should be able to import a public descriptor where your wallet knows the private keys corresponding to (some of) the xpubs in the descriptor. ### Is your feature related to a problem, if so please describe it. If you try to import a descriptor into a Core wallet that has private keys, and you only provide the public descriptor, it will fail with the error `Cannot import descriptor without private keys to a wallet with private keys enabled`. To do the import, you need to pull the private keys out of the wallet, populate the descriptor with them, recompute the checksum, then try again. This is unsafe and unnecessary. ### Describe the solution you'd like Before erroring out, the wallet should check whether it actually has private keys that would allow it to import the descriptor. ### Describe any alternatives you've considered _No response_ ### Please leave any additional context _No response_
