refactor(settings): simplify settings layout and controls

[maria-rcks]

What Changed

Simplified the settings page structure and reduced UI noise without changing the overall design language.

This updates the settings screen to use calmer grouped sections, simpler row layouts, lighter custom model management, and a top-bar Restore defaults action instead of reset controls inside the page body.

It also adds a small reusable improvement to the shared select component so settings dropdowns can render without the extra selected-item gutter.

Why

The previous settings UI had too many nested boxes, repeated action patterns, and too much visual weight for advanced or infrequently used options.

This keeps the page closer to the rest of the app and makes the common settings easier to scan.

Note

Refactor settings page layout with sections, rows, and a restore defaults action

• Introduces SettingsSection and SettingsRow layout components in _chat.settings.tsx to standardize the settings page structure with titled sections and consistent row formatting.
• Adds a 'Restore defaults' action in the settings header that resets theme, calls resetSettings(), and clears local state after confirmation.
• Changes 'New threads' from a boolean switch to a dropdown selecting between local and worktree.
• Consolidates custom model management into a single UI with a provider selector, add/remove controls, and optional pagination; removes the per-provider reset button.
• Moves Codex install overrides into a collapsible section; updates the Keybindings row to show the resolved path and renames the button to 'Open file'.
• Adds a hideIndicator prop to SelectItem in select.tsx to render items without the selection indicator in a single-column layout.
