Gather the privacy settings into a section of their own

Browse Source 
General had grown five unrelated headings and was where anything without
an obvious home ended up. Remote images were filed under "Reading", the
read-receipt policy under "Composing", the undo-send window beside the
default message format. They are the same kind of decision -- what reaches
a sender, and what asks before something happens -- and they were the
hardest settings in the app to find.

Privacy & safety now holds all six, in three groups: remote content, read
receipts, and the things that ask before it is too late. General keeps
what it is actually about and is thirty lines shorter.

The line against Security & sessions is worth stating, because two similar
words next to each other in a nav is how a menu becomes something people
hunt through. Security & sessions is credentials and access: password,
two-factor state, app passwords, live sessions. Privacy & safety is how
the app behaves towards the reader and towards senders.

Nothing moved in storage. Settings are a flat object in settings.json and
sections are only how they are grouped on screen, so this is a UI change
with no migration and no key renames.

Two things beyond the move.

The senders trusted with remote images are now listed and can be withdrawn
one at a time. A sender was added from a message and could then only be
removed by finding another message from that same sender, which is not a
way to review a list you cannot see.

And General's lead said settings are stored in this browser, which is only
true when the server has no FileNode support. They normally live in the
account's own Files and follow it between devices, so the sentence
contradicted the feature it sat above.

**Privacy & safety is separate from Security & sessions**, and the line
between them is worth stating because two similar words in one nav is how a
menu becomes something people hunt through. Security & sessions is credentials
and access: password, two-factor state, app passwords, live sessions. Privacy &
safety is how the app behaves towards the reader and towards senders: what
loads, what leaks, and what asks before it happens. These had been spread
through General, which had grown five unrelated headings — remote images filed
under "Reading", the read-receipt policy under "Composing", the undo-send window
beside the default message format.
The senders trusted with remote images are listed there and can be withdrawn
one at a time. Previously a sender was added from a message and could only be
removed by finding another message from the same sender.
Settings **export** to a JSON file and **import** back, and reset to defaults.
