Core/DB:

- Only use configured PersistentFlags for character database cleaner to determine data saving behaviour during runtime, instead of all original flags set in worldstates.
- Remove the forced deletion of abandoned quest entries in 10828_characters_character_queststatus.sql for those who do not want to lose that data. If you want to purge that data then run the core with CleanupFlags & 0x10. If you want to both purge the data now and prevent it from being saved in the future, run the core with CleanupFlags & 0x10 AND PersistentCleanupFlags & 0x10
