feat: Implement application preferences with JSON persistence

- Added preferences management in `preferences.py` with functions to load, save, get, set, and reset preferences.
- Introduced a configuration directory structure based on the operating system.
- Integrated preferences into the settings window, allowing users to reset settings and manage window geometry.
- Enhanced `search_filter.py` to support flexible date column names and improved filtering logic.
- Updated `settings_window.py` to include options for managing backup and configuration folder paths.
- Introduced an `UndoManager` class to handle undo actions for add/update/delete operations.
- Improved UIManager to support sorting in tree views and added a toast notification feature.

+New application API (used by main app):

+        .enable_auto_save() / .disable_auto_save()
+        .mark_data_modified() / .force_save()

+                    error_callback=..., interval_minutes=0.1, max_backups=3)

+        .create_backup(suffix) / .get_backup_files() / .restore_from_backup(path)

+Both modes share a single implementation for simplicity. Mode is inferred by
