probably regression from qt6 migration
Don't use broad generic "except Exception" without at least logging the exception, please...
That's why this was not noticed before, the exception was being swallowed.
Nevertheless, on Linux with wayland, this still does not work (the geometry API is getting dumb values).
On x11 it now works again, as well as on Windows. (haven't tested macos)
```

```
and restore ability to have different internal ConfigVar name and user-visible "key"
(Keys are hard to change as that breaks compat, but it is nice to be able to change
the internal var name, to reorganise stuff sometimes. After new ConfigVars are added,
sometimes we get better insight into how the older ones should have been named.)
follow-up https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/pull/9648
When importing a plugin, if it raised an exception in its `__init__` file, we
ignored it, and still loaded the plugin, in a potentially half-broken state.
This is because maybe_load_plugin_init_method only calls exec_module_from_spec
if the plugin is not already in sys.modules, but exec_module_from_spec
will put the plugin into sys.modules even if it errors.
Consider this patch to test with, enable the "labels" plugin:
```patch
diff --git a/electrum/plugins/labels/__init__.py b/electrum/plugins/labels/__init__.py
index b68127df8e..0d6d95abce 100644

arg:bool:force:pull all labels

return await plugin.pull_thread(wallet, force=force)

+raise Exception("heyheyhey")
```
I would expect we don't load the labels plugin due to the error, but we do:
```
>>> plugins.get_plugin("labels")
<electrum.plugins.labels.qt.Plugin object at 0x7801df30fb50>
```

This allows plugins to document the commands they add.
The docstring is parsed as a regular expression:
arg:<type>:<name>:<description>\n
Types are defined in commands.arg_types.
Note that this commit removes support for single letter
shortcuts in command options.
If a command is not properly documented, a warning is issued
with print(), because no logger is available at this point.
This removes support for Ledger HW.1 and "Nano" (non-S) devices.
These were manufactured/sold around 2015-2016, and are long unsupported by the upstream vendor.
We previously added a deprecation warning to the GUI [0] released in 4.3.3 (2023-01-02), to warn owners of these devices.
This PR now fully removes support.
As a consequence, the unmaintained btchip-python dependency can now be removed, which solves [1].

if they use a software keystore.
This excludes hardware wallets and watching-only wallet.
Also, this forbids creation of new channels in those wallets,
in case lightning was previously enabled.
Fixes#9440
- make plugin commands start with plugin name + underscore
- plugin_name must be passed to the plugin_command decorator
- fixes:
- remove plugin_commands (unneeded)
- func_wrapper must await func()
- setattr(Commands, name, func_wrapper)
- add push/pull commands to labels plugin
