add persistent user preferences and GUI for them

There are a number of user preferences we might like to have, for example:
- upgrade following to use sets - when/if switching to *watching, which would allow user-only permissions
- maintain closedopen state of sidebar cards (across sessions)
- turn double-click-to-edit off/on
- add user-selectable markup options - new interface
- see minor edits (see add minor edit checkbox when editing)
- email me when someone links to my user card
- give users control over frequency of emails
Some (such as closedopen state of cards) are changed implicitly, while others would use existing or new graphical interfaces.
+solution
The general pattern could be cards with names like _user+edit_method (which would be a Pointer that could be "default", "wiki", "Markdown", etc.). The other example listed could be something like _user+|cardname|+*openclosed (a bit tricky since we might want to save state based on the context the card was in; maybe _user+|including card|+|cardname|+*openclosed ?).
_user+Config could be the GUI card for editing preferences. This would then be put in, or linked from, the sidebar, the person's User card, etc.
