[GNC] Upgrading to 5.3 from 2.6.15

Yeah, it's gotten a lot faster since Chris Lam figured out it was checking every transaction for every split in the transaction and fixed it to only traverse the transactions once.

They uncorrupt data from a few bugs known to have caused problems, do some data-integrity checks like making sure that transactions balance and that all of the accounts referenced in splits actually exist, and make data changes for older files needed by the current GnuCash version. Check and repair runs those scrubs (again) plus a few more.
