Isaac ConnorandClaude Opus 5 6c0f976c22 refactor: move the presentation settings to the Display tab
The skin and css, the language and locale, the date, time and datetime
formats, the default bandwidth and the snapshots feature switch all
decide how the interface looks or what it offers, which is what that tab
is for, but they sat under System among the shutdown command, the shm
key and the audit intervals. System drops from 42 entries to 33 and
Display goes from 32 to 41.

The snapshots switch is read only by the skin: it gates a button in
montage and montage review, a menu item, and the snapshot views and
their permission checkboxes. Nothing in the daemons or the perl scripts
looks at it.

The category key is still 'web'. That is the tab now labelled Display;
the tab whose key is 'display' holds the per-session cookie settings and
stores no configuration at all, so a stored default does not belong
there. The hint setup for the moved entries -- the installed skin list,
the css list for the current skin, the bandwidth options, and the
language and locale lists -- moves to the same branch.

ZM_TIMEZONE stays under System. It reads like a presentation setting,
but Filter.pm uses it for date arithmetic when evaluating filters, so it
changes behaviour and not just what is displayed.

A migration, 1.39.40, is needed as well as the ConfigData change, because a
version upgrade does not rewrite Config: zmupdate only reloads it from
ConfigData under --freshen, which is mutually exclusive with an upgrade
run. Fresh installs take the new category from the generated
zm_create.sql.

Verified both paths converge on 33 system and 41 display entries with
identical membership: a fresh install of this branch, and a copy of a
real pre-change Config table with the migration applied. On the running
install the bandwidth, language and locale entries still render as their
pickers on the new tab, css as its list of choices, and the timezone
picker is still on System with its full list.
