Improves the derive macro for `SettingsUi` so that titles generated from
struct and field names are shown in title case, and toggle button groups
use title case for rendering, while using lower case/snake case in JSON

This PR includes the necessary work to get `EditorSettings` showing up
in the settings UI. Including making the `path` field on
`SettingsUiItem`'s optional so that top level items such as
`EditorSettings` which have `Settings::KEY = None` (i.e. are treated
like `serde(flatten)`) have their paths computed correctly for JSON
reading/updating.
It includes the first examples of a pattern I expect to continue with
the `SettingsUi` work with respect to settings reorganization, that
being adding missing defaults, and adding explicit values (or aliases)
to settings which previously relied on `null` being a value for optional
fields.

Initially, the `SettingsUi` trait was tied to `Settings`, however, given
that the `Settings::FileContent` type (which may be the same as the type
that implements `Settings`) will be the type that more directly maps to
the JSON structure (and therefore have the documentation, correct field
names (or `serde` rename attributes), etc) it makes more sense to have
the deriving of `SettingsUi` occur on the `FileContent` type rather than
the `Settings` type.
In order for this to work a relatively important change had to be made
to the derive macro, that being that it now "unwraps" options into their
inner type, so a field with type `Option<Foo>` where `Foo: SettingsUi`
will treat the field as if it were just `Foo`, expecting there to be a
default set in `default.json`. This imposes some restrictions on what
`Settings::FileContent` can be as seen in 1e19398 where `FileContent`
itself can't be optional without manually implementing `SettingsUi`, as
well as introducing some risk that if the `FileContent` type has
`serde(default)`, the default value will override the default value from
`default.json` in the UI even though it may differ (but it should!).
A future PR should probably replace the other settings with `FileContent
= Option<T>` (all of which currently have `T == bool`) with wrapper
structs and have `KEY = None` so the further niceties
`derive(SettingsUi)` will provide such as path renaming, custom UI, auto
naming and doc comment extraction can be used.

Closes #ISSUE
Adds a first draft of a way for "Dynamic" settings items to be added,
where Dynamic means settings where multiple sets of options are possible
(i.e. discriminated union, rust enum, etc). The implementation is very
similar to that of `Group`, except that instead of rendering all of it's
descendants, it contains a function to determine _which_ descendant to
render, whether that be a single item or a nested group of items.
Currently this is done in a type-unsafe way with indices, a future
improvement could be to make the API more type safe, and easier to
manually implement correctly.
An example of a "Dynamic" setting is `theme`, where it can either be a
string of the desired theme name, or an object with `mode: "light" |
"dark" | "system"` as well as theme names for `light` and `dark`. In the
system implemented by this PR, this would become a dynamic settings UI
item, where option `0` is a single item, the theme name selector, and
option `1` is a group, containing items for the `mode`, and
`light`/`dark` options.

## Goal
This PR creates the initial settings ui structure with the primary goal
of making a settings UI that is
- Comprehensive: All settings are available through the UI
- Correct: Easy to understand the underlying JSON file from the UI
- Intuitive
- Easy to implement per setting so that UI is not a hindrance to future
settings changes
### Structure
The overall structure is settings layer -> data layer -> ui layer.
The settings layer is the pre-existing settings definitions, that
implement the `Settings` trait. The data layer is constructed from
settings primarily through the `SettingsUi` trait, and it's associated
derive macro. The data layer tracks the grouping of the settings, the
json path of the settings, and a data representation of how to render
the controls for the setting in the UI, that is either a marker value
for the component to use (avoiding a dependency on the `ui` crate) or a
custom render function.
Abstracting the data layer from the ui layer allows crates depending on
`settings` to implement their own UI without having to add additional UI
dependencies, thus avoiding circular dependencies. In cases where custom
UI is desired, and a creating a custom render function in the same crate
is infeasible due to circular dependencies, the current solution is to
implement a marker for the component in the `settings` crate, and then
handle the rendering of that component in `settings_ui`.
### Foundation
This PR creates a macro and a trait both called `SettingsUi`. The
`SettingsUi` trait is added as a new trait bound on the `Settings`
trait, this allows the type system to guarantee that all settings
implement UI functionality. The macro is used to derived the trait for
most types, and can be modified through attributes for unique cases as
well.
A derive-macro is used to generate the settings UI trait impl, allowing
it the UI generation to be generated from the static information in our
code base (`default.json`, Struct/Enum names, field names, `serde`
attributes, etc). This allows the UI to be auto-generated for the most
part, and ensures consistency across the UI.
#### Immediate Follow ups
- Add a new `SettingsPath` trait that will be a trait bound on
`SettingsUi` and `Settings`
- This trait will replace the `Settings::key` value to enable
`SettingsUi` to infer the json path of it's derived type
- Figure out how to render `Option<T> where T: SettingsUi` correctly
- Handle `serde` attributes in the `SettingsUi` proc macro to correctly
get json path from a type's field and identity
