[JENKINS-12548] Read-only system configuration browsing #12412
Description
It would be useful if the read-only version of the configuration page is rendered substantially different from the editable configuration page.
For example, read-only config page shouldn't show any options that aren't checked,
and every "advanced" sections should be expanded out of the box. (or perhaps even
render to a plain text instead of HTML)

From the discussion of JCasC I am guessing this is being interpreted in the context of global settings. There is a somewhat analogous RFE for project settings: JENKINS-50173.
