Previously, plugins that needed to save user preferences on specific preference …pages had to either: 1. Manually register value transformers for `preferences-save-attributes` 2. Use `modifyClass` to push fields to `saveAttrNames` The second approach was broken because `saveAttrNames` is now a getter that returns a fresh array each time, so pushed values were lost. This commit introduces three new plugin APIs that handle the transformer registration automatically: - `addSaveableUserOption(name, { page })` - for `user_options` table fields - `addSaveableUserField(name, { page })` - for `user_fields` table fields - `addSaveableCustomFields(page)` - ensures `custom_fields` object is saved on a page (auto-deduplicates across plugins) The `{ page }` option specifies which preferences page triggers saving: "account", "emails", "interface", "notifications", "profile", "tracking", etc. Also updates bundled plugins to use the new APIs: - chat: `addSaveableUserOption` with `{ page: "emails" }` for email frequency - discourse-ai: `addSaveableUserOption` with `{ page: "interface" }` - discourse-assign: `addSaveableUserOption` with `{ page: "tracking" }`, `addSaveableCustomFields` with `"notifications"` - discourse-policy: `addSaveableUserOption` with `{ page: "emails" }` - discourse-rewind: `addSaveableUserOption` (no page, custom prefs page) Deprecates `addSaveableUserOptionField` in favor of `addSaveableUserOption`.
