This is part of a series of PRs made in preparation for the QML rewrite. this PR specifically moves a bunch of utility functions from main.cpp into qt_common, with the biggest benefit being that QML can reuse the exact same code through ctx passthrough.
Also, QtCommon::Frontend is an abstraction layer over several previously Widgets-specific stuff like QMessageBox that gets used everywhere. The idea is that once QML is implemented, these functions can have a Quick version implemented for systems that don't work well with Widgets (sun) or for those on Plasma 6+ (reduces memory usage w/o Widgets linkage) although Quick from C++ is actually anal, but whatever.
Other than that this should also just kinda reduce the size of main.cpp which is a 6000-line behemoth rn, and clangd straight up gives up with it for me (likely caused by the massive amount of headers, which this DOES reduce).
In the future, I probably want to create a common strings lookup table that both Qt and QML can reference--though I'm not sure how much linguist likes that--which should give us a way to keep language consistent (use frozen-map).

Replaces every way of handling config for each frontend with SimpleIni. frontend_common's Config class is at the center where it saves and loads all of the cross-platform settings and provides a set of pure virtual functions for platform specific settings.
As a result of making config handling platform specific, several parts had to be moved to each platform's own config class or to other parts. Default keys were put in platform specific config classes and translatable strings for Qt were moved to shared_translation. Default hotkeys, default_theme, window geometry, and qt metatypes were moved to uisettings. Additionally, to reduce dependence on Qt, QStrings were converted to std::strings where applicable.
We can iterate through the AdvancedGraphics settings and generate the UI
during runtime. This doesn't help runtime efficiency, but it helps a ton
in reducing the amount of work a developer needs in order to add a new
setting.
