UI - Persistent states

[wcgunter]

Changes behavior of UI elements to remember their last states and restore them when loading the page again. Uses local storage to record and compare current states.

Also fixes issue on log page with the optional columns with auto-refresh (would remove the header labels for the optional column, flipped the checkmark meaning)

Did you test it thoroughly? Does it handle when you close the browser and reopen?
initial cases are good?
Do you think we need a "Reset Defaults" button? or not really needed?
Test in different browsers? Chrome, Safari, Firefox? Those 3 should be good for testing

Completed testing of the changes: (including wiping any current local storage, navigating, exiting and re-opening, logging out/in)
✅ Chrome (Version 114.0.5735.106)
✅ Firefox (Version 102.12.0esr)
✅ Safari (Version 16.5)

In terms of a reset defaults button, I don't think its necessary because the user can always change / reselect for themselves (and keep certain settings while resetting others). If anyone else has a different thought process, let me know and I can add one in.
