List availabale GDAL vector drivers (fix #18738)

PR Description:

Description

In QGIS settings there is a GDAL tab with list of available GDAL raster drivers and their capabilities. If several drivers can be used to open data, user can disable some drivers to make sure that data will be opened with required driver. Similar situation with vector formats. For example there are FileGDB and OpenFileGDB drivers to work with .gdb files, but if data file has version 9.x, FileGDB won't be able to open it. But there are no UI with list of available vector drivers.

This pull-requst adds "Vector Drivers" tab to the GDAL section in the QGIS options dialog. At this tab user can see all available vector drivers and their capabilities as well as uncheck drivers which should not be used to open vector data.
