feat: Add facility to completely hide parts of the interface (#12842)

* fix typing issue for pylance engine

* add flags to mark rough function of setting

* update pr version

* fix settings serialisation

* render security warnings

* move Transfer Orders

* respect return order hiding

* almost all confirm texts will have a warning

* add settings for sales, purchase and buildorder deactivation

* make permission check also ensure gloablsetting for view is available; reduce number of chained gates

* document possible missing check

* ensure we can still show the sales tab

* add additional warning to group cleanup

* hide more ui parts conditionally

* add tests for new code and remove duplication

* fix test

* alternative approach to fix SSO path
