Feature request: Settings Refactor

[skrolikowski]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently the fields that make up the Settings interfaces use regular input fields. This allowed a standardized way of configuring settings. We'd like to investigate a more streamlined way of creating customizable settings using our existing Fieldtypes.

Describe the solution you'd like

Refactor how settings are saved using Fieldtypes.

• Setting fields should be imported and treated as if they are a Fieldset.
• Fields for settings will be stored in a separate table.
• Setting values will be stored in a separate table, each value in it's own column with associated data type.

Feature request checklist

• This is a single feature (i.e. not a re-write of the entire CMS)
• The title starts with "Feature request: " and is followed by a clear feature name (Ex: Feature request: add konami code to control panel)
• I have searched for existing issues and to the best of my knowledge this is not a duplicate
