[Desktop] Sync v2 - Bookmarks are duplicated after migration from sync v1 #11104

All* the bookmarks are duplicated if user migrates from sync 1 to sync 2
The reason is that after upgrade to 1.12.x bookmarks are stripped of all the sync 1 meta data and are treated as local bookmarks. This is by design.
The problem is that the user may not realize that the bookmarks are now local and that they will sync to all the devices thus creating duplicates.

Even bigger problem is that we immediately encourage the user to create a sync v2 chain after migration.
Steps to Reproduce
Note: this issue can be easily replicated by just using sync 2
Actual result:
We encourage user to create sync v2 chain after upgrade which could result in bookmarks being duplicated

Bookmarks are duplicated after sync v2 chain is created
We also don't backup their bookmarks after upgrade to 1.12.x.

Bookmarks are not duplicated
