Continue modernizing application access to user preferences

Description

Continue modernizing application access to user preferences

Summary:
Ref T4103. This is just incremental cleanup:

  • Add "internal" settings, which aren't editable via the UI. They can still do validation and run through the normal pathway. Move a couple settings to use this.
  • Remove getPreference() on PhabricatorUser, which was a sort of prototype version of getUserSetting().
  • Make getUserSetting() validate setting values before returning them, to improve robustness if we change allowable values later.
  • Add a user setting cache, since reading user settings was getting fairly expensive on Calendar.
  • Improve performance of setting validation for timezone setting (don't require building/computing all timezone offsets).
  • Since we have the cache anyway, make the timezone override a little more general in its approach.
  • Move editor stuff to use getUserSetting().

Test Plan:

  • Changed search scopes.
  • Reconciled local and server timezone settings by ignoring and changing timezones.
  • Changed date/time settings, browsed Calendar, queried date ranges.
  • Verified editor links generate properly in Diffusion.
  • Browsed around with time/date settings looking at timestamps.
  • Grepped for getPreference(), nuked all the ones coming off $user or $viewer that I could find.
  • Changed accessiblity to high-contrast colors.
  • Ran all unit tests.
  • Grepped for removed constants.
