feat: overhaul settings wizard

will7200 commented 5 months ago

use projects.change_base_directories instead of internal implementation
remove complexity of user interactions when switching to a new data directory, announcing a new project setup with a label instead. Changes are not being made until the user hits saves, so those pop-ups are unnecessary
handle case when database file does not exist or table has not been initialized
make the wizard float to the top

closes #3

Thanks a lot, LGTM. We need to do a deeper refactorization here at some point but this is already a step forward.
