Convert Settings screen to HTML, and move to Tab #259

Description

@RealRaven2000

In order to be future proof, but also to simplify moving it into a tab, we need to start converting the xhtml / xul based settings screen into plain HTML. This is necessary to make SmartTemplates more compatible with Thunderbird 115 and newer versions as XUL and related layout rules are gradually removed in Thunderbird Core.

Problems

  • at the moment the settings screen is complicated and has 2 side-by side parts. It already had problems based on using flex, this needs to be redesigned
  • the variables tab needs to be recoded in a way that it can also be used within Composer
  • the account templates area uses cloning to generate the different identities; this needs to be redone in HTML
  • some parts of the settings (such as the license tab) do not need to share half the screen with account settings. Only show components of the "right hand side" with the account settings where it makes sense.
