A new config API is introduced, and ~all of the codebase is adapted to it.
The old API is kept but mainly only for dynamic usage where its extra flexibility is needed.
Using examples, the old config API looked this:
```
>>> config.get("request_expiry", 86400)
604800
>>> config.set_key("request_expiry", 86400)
>>>
```
The new config API instead:
```
>>> config.WALLET_PAYREQ_EXPIRY_SECONDS
604800
>>> config.WALLET_PAYREQ_EXPIRY_SECONDS = 86400
>>>
```
The old API operated on arbitrary string keys, the new one uses
a static ~enum-like list of variables.
With the new API:
- there is a single centralised list of config variables, as opposed to
these being scattered all over
- no more duplication of default values (in the getters)
- there is now some (minimal for now) type-validation/conversion for
the config values

Note: there is yet a third API added here, for certain niche/abstract use-cases,
where we need a reference to the config variable itself.
It should only be used when needed:
```
>>> var = config.cv.WALLET_PAYREQ_EXPIRY_SECONDS
>>> var
<ConfigVarWithConfig key='request_expiry'>
>>> var.get()
604800
>>> var.set(3600)
>>> var.get_default_value()
86400
>>> var.is_set()
True
>>> var.is_modifiable()
True
```
- show a QLineEdit by default, a QTextEdit only if paytomany is active.
paytomany is a rare use case, it should not interfer with regular
use (e.g. when a user inadvertently types enter).
- this also fixes the visual appearance if the payto line
- keep paytomany menu in sync with actual state
In particular, window.timer_actions() calls
request_list.refresh_all() and invoice_list.refresh_all(),
every 0.5 seconds.
We avoid doing this at least when those lists are not visible anyway.
- set minimumHeight of VTabWidget (needed for small window size)
- keep self.tabBar visible, otherwise the widget border is rendered with a gap on linux
- apply stylesheet to both tabTar and surrounding widget
- buttons style: align text left, NoFocus
- on button click: setChecked always True, draw qr code at the end because it is slow
QTabWidget with "West" tab pos and horizontal text looks completely broken on macOS
(despite looking good on e.g. Ubuntu GNOME and Windows).
The alternative here looks ok on all three OSes.

Re FIXME in main_window.py, in particular, adb might call `add_transaction` on the same tx multiple times.
In `wallet.on_event_adb_added_tx`, maybe we should propagate `notify_GUI` to `wallet._update_request_statuses_touched_by_tx`.
The issue being fixed here (above TARS reports) can be triggered in multiple ways, e.g.:
- have an already paid receive request, and receive a payment to the same address again
- have an already paid receive request, and *spend from* that address (in which case the history of the address will change, and address_synchronizer will call add_transaction again on the old tx that satisfied the old receive request)
