Note: This pull request will migrate prefs to a new format that is not backwards compatible with old prefs. Moving forward to new prefs just works but if you wanted to revert to an older version of PrEditor you can loose new code changes. Do we want to do anything special with when this code is released? Major version upgrade or skip a few minor versions, something else?

@macevhicz @tbttfox

I've changed the base from main to main2.0 as this is the first PR of the 2.0 release. We have at least two more PR's after this that will go into the 2.0 release. This PR is a significant change to the prefs system so we want to have a distinction between them.

Change from coloring tabs with paintEvent to setTabTextColor
8cee182 
Running in Houdini, the tab bar draws poorly, so remove overriding
paintEvent, and instead use setTabTextColor and setTabTextToolTip. This
means updating colors must be triggered, it doesn't come for free as in
paintEvent.
@macevhicz
Ui updates
0f85c46 
- Simplify Options and Preferences layouts
- Add Prompt on Linked File Change option (you will get visual clues
    even if this is turned off)
- Better handling of deleted / renamed linked files
- Handful of other small fixes
