Description

We should migrate to a new Preference library introduced with androidx. It's based on recycler view and plays nicely with rest of the modern components that we are using.

This will also probably require figuring out the mess and dark magic around is toollbar/appbar/action mode in nested preference screens.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing the existing preference screens and the AndroidX Preference library documentation, paying particular attention to nested screens and toolbar, app bar, and action mode behavior. Done means the preference screens use the new library and retain correct behavior across nested screens.
