How to restore JSON wallet #1379

Description

@github12101

Hello,

I have saved JSON wallet and password to it years ago.
I played a lot with different versions of Emerald Wallet trying to restore it. This is how far I got:
Latest Emerald-Wallet-linux-v2.10.0 fails to import this wallet completely.
Old version Emerald-Wallet-linux-v2.3.0 can import JSON wallet and display my address, however, it will not connect to the network. I checked and this address hold coins.
When I re-open wallet created by 2.3.0 version in latest version, then it asks me to migrate wallet. Then it fails on password entry. When I skip migration, I have my wallet and balance displayed nicely. But when I try to transfer funds out, I have error:
Error occurred in handler for 'vault-verify-global-key': Error: 200: GlobalKeyRequired
Global Key is just 12345678, created for the purpose of this migration, so this is weird. And I have password to that JSON file saved, as a KeePass entry, since 2019, it has not changed since. I feel that old version v2.3.0 would use that JSON-based wallet just fine, but it doesn't connect anymore. And new Emerald Wallet does not complete the task.

Any tips how to withdraw funds from this appreciated!
