[WIP] Migrating from the MaterialPreferences library to native

[rapterjet2004]

MaterialPreferences is unmaintained and the UI looks dated. This PR is to migrate to a native solution, and adhere to the modern material 3 design. #3050 (comment) This way the app becomes more maintainable in the long run and reduces the use of 3rd party dependencies.

Looks really nice 👌

[AndyScherzinger]

@rapterjet2004 can you rebase to latest master, else I would have to re-install and loose all accounts? Thanks in advance 💙

I noticed that the proxy type box was empty on this version but the default is no proxy

[rapterjet2004]

Ok I just fixed it, I had to reset the app data first. I added this line of code before setting up my drop down
if (appPreferences.proxyType == null) { appPreferences.proxyType = resources.getString(R.string.nc_no_proxy) }

[AndyXheli]

Perfect! Thank you so much.
