Carter Anderson a3fa0c2c8f Rename Preferences to Settings in the appropriate places (#24613) ...

# Objective

`bevy_settings` currently conflates "settings" and "preferences" in a
number of places. The name of the framework itself is Bevy Settings, so
anything that drives general "settings" behaviors should use "settings"
terminology. For example, `PreferencesPlugin` should be `SettingsPlugin`
because it handles _all_ `SettingsGroup` types (regardless of their
"scope" such as "preferences.toml").

## Solution

Use "settings" instead of "preferences" in the appropriate places. I've
also removed the custom `ExitAfterSave` commands in the examples as they
are unnecessary.

This should land in 0.19 because we haven't published this API yet and
getting naming right is important.
