[GNC] v3.8 AQBanking in the US

[John Ralls]

OFX seems to be a broken in AQBanking 6, which as I explained earlier I provided in the Windows and Mac bundles to support the recent changes in Germany's FinTS system. Here's what my testing found:

* OFX users and accounts aren't migrated to the new ~/.aqbanking/settings6 directory so the AQBanking Setup Wizard is initially unpopulated. 
* Trying to migrate the files oneself doesn't work very well, one must set them up by hand.
∑* One can create users but not edit them.
* The Fetch Accounts button in the create user assistant works. The select user drop down in the edit account dialog does not, so if you don't fetch the accounts from the bank when you set up the user then you must edit the configuration files by hand.
* The debug logging messages from Gwenhywfar aren't very helpful.
* The associations made in the Online Banking Setup Assistant don't show in the assistant but they are made, so that the menu items in Actions>Online Actions are enabled for the account. However, the select account dialog still comes up the first time you try to get transactions anyway. 
* Once everything is set up, getting transactions seems to work but the end result is a matcher window with only a single 0-value and 0-date transaction.
* Setting AQBANKING_LOGLEVEL=info or debug does nothing.
* Setting AQOFXCONNECT_LOGLEVEL=info produces a single additional message:
'* 13:20:06  WARN <aqofxconnect>     /Users/john/Development/Gnucash-Build/Gnucash-master-git/src/aqbanking-5.99.44beta/src/libs/plugins/backends/aqofxconnect/provider.c:  159: Overriding loglevel for AqOFXConnect with "info"'. Pretty useless.
* GWEN_LOGLEVEL=debug produces a lot of output but little of it is of much help.

FWIW https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/pull/623 made no difference.

I don't know how much of that's fixable from GnuCash. Martin said last week that he's suspended development of OFX so anything that isn't is presumably broken forever.
