feat(blenvy): massive overhaul

* removed a lot of obsolete code
 * overhauled settings upsert
 * added save & load of blenvy common settings
 * removed most of the specific uis (mostly auto export)
 * moved change detection logic out of auto export (wip)
 * added helper to compare setting dicts
 * cleaned up some incoherent naming
 * stripped auto_export of a lot of its internals (wip)
 * main settings ui overhaul: now components & auto export provide their own settings UI function
