-prune doesn't work during import #23852

Description

It appears that -prune is ignored during import (-reindex, or -loadblock).

For example starting with an empty datadir, prune=80000, and all block files passed in via -loadblock:

...

...

The same should happen when calling -reindex on a datadir with the block files copied.

So prune only works with IBD from the network?
