Description
Migrate the Card Template Editor to use the Rust backend's atomic `updateNotetype()` API instead of the current legacy approach that uses individual `addTemplate()` / `removeTemplate()` / `updateDict()` calls.
The current implementation has an atomicity issue where templates can be persisted to the database even if the final save fails (here)
https://github.com/ankidroid/Anki-Android/blob/0f4f87e486c56236087fbcec37c8929173e67989/AnkiDroid/src/main/java/com/ichi2/anki/CardTemplateNotetype.kt#L122-L141
This can cause data corruption with duplicate card types (e.g., "Card 2+", "Card 3++") if the user adds templates, encounters a validation error, and discards changes.
