Changelog: New settings/ux tab

If you go to /settings/ux you will see a bunch of options that used to be in /settings/misc, now with more interactive visuals.

The upgrade from the "misc" area of settings is a commitment to keep up with the user experience configurations which should help everybody experience DEV on their own terms.

Thank you to to @link2twenty for proposing the theme selector and @johncurcio for building it!

I luv pink, but that site theme was just a bit too intense even for me!
I went back to the standard theme after just a couple of page views.

After trying out the pink color scheme, I hope that you might consider adding a scheme where we can pick the colors via a color picker and set our own unique colors for a theme.

This is cool.
Just to be the 'what about' guy, I'd love if I could schedule a dark mode theme from say 6pm - 6am.

During the brighter day I do like the traditional light Dev.to theme.
