Description

### What

The Log Out button is hard to find, under Simplenote > Preferences.

![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/8658164/60176795-3f926180-980f-11e9-8149-c6c22d775ea9.png)

### How

There are two points of confusion that I see:

* It isn't necessarily clear that the app Preferences contain Account information and logout.
* The logout button is placed at the bottom of the screen, separate from the information about what account you're currently logged in to.

h/t @msilbers for the original report!

Research direction

Open Simplenote > Preferences and inspect how Account information and the Log Out button are currently presented, using the attached screenshot as context. Confirm the intended layout change with maintainers before starting; done when account details and logout are easier to discover and the updated arrangement is verified.
