feat(compare): add `layoutSettings` state persistence (#1519)

[dgrebb]

Summary

Enhance user experience by enabling persistent compare report settings across sessions.

Potentially closes #1519.

Solution

Implemented Redux state persistence and hydration using localStorage. This update focuses on layoutSettings:

• Adds state persistence and hydration with Redux.
• Defaults to defaultState.
• Implements error handling: catches, warns, and clears localStorage issues.

Notes

Bugfixes and Enhancements

• Updated webpack-dev-server configuration and npm run dev-compare.
• Removed toggleTextInfo from SettingsPopup.js in the compare module.
  • Identified as legacy code. Further analysis suggests onToggle can be repurposed for updating any setting by id.
