Description

### Steps To Reproduce

The "Sync now" button on iOS app is under Settings->Other instead of Settings->Vault. On the browser extension, it is found under Settings->Vault options. This is inconsistent and also confusing when using both.

### Expected Result

"Sync now" button in same location as other Bitwarden applications/browser extension.

### Actual Result

"Sync now" button in a different location.

Research direction

Start by comparing the iOS Settings > Other and Settings > Vault locations with the browser extension's Settings > Vault options. Trace the iOS settings entry points for the "Sync now" action. Done means the button is located consistently with the other Bitwarden applications and remains usable on the reported iOS environment.
