Improve Lua settings menu
* Add key settings to setting table and ignore them later This way they are added to the auto-generated minetest.conf.example * Add flags type * Add input validation for int, float and flags * Break in-game graphic settings into multiple sections * Parse settingtpes.txt in mods and games * Improve description for a lot of settings * Fix typos and wording in settingtypes.txt * Convert language setting to an enum
