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.
