[GNC] Check & Repair

If I'm not mistaken, when you upgrade, GnuCash will automatically make 
necessary adjustments to your file when things change internally from 
version to version. (for example, one version long ago, changed how time 
stamps were internally recorded, but nothing changed visibly to the 
user) Sometimes, this doesn't happen automatically or complete itself 
for various reasons. This feature exists in the menu, to 'force' the 
adjustments. This is why intentionally running it is included in the 
recommended upgrade procedures in the Wiki.

Outside of that scenario, I'm not sure what, if any, benefit exists in 
using that feature.

Regardless, feedback would still be nice.

Regards,
Adrien
