Split out of #113 at the reviewer's request (1 of 4). Same code as commit 3206489 there, rebased onto current main.

What

The Configuration page is regrouped around how an owner works through a node: Node (Identifiers, Mode, Node Claim, Network), Radar (Cached Towers, Tower, Capture, Tracking), ADS-B (ADS-B Truth, tar1090), Other (SSH Access, Setup Wizard) and Support (Cloud Services, Remote Support, How We Reach You).

Why

The page had grown a section at a time and its order no longer matched how a node is set up and tuned: Node Claim sat near the bottom of a long Administration group, the centre frequency lived in Capture while the tower it belongs to was two sections up, and the side menu's group headings looked the same as the links under them. The guided tutorial (coming as a separate PR) walks this page top to bottom, so the order had to make sense first.

The change

• Each group is titled in the page with a rule under it; the side menu's group titles carry the same rule.
• "Tower" is now "Cached Towers" and "Location" is now "Tower". A section has one name, written the same in the menu, its heading and the wizard hints.
• Center Frequency moves from Capture into Tower's transmitter block, after Name.
• Tower shows the receiver's name read-only; it is changed under Identifiers, which also shows the server's identifier for the node.
• The form that Apply changes submits wraps exactly the Radar and ADS-B groups. A radar field left outside the form would be missing from the POST, which the server reads as that setting having been cleared, so tests/test_config_layout.py holds this.

Testing

• Full suite on this branch: 1054 passed, 1 failed. The failure is tests/test_node_name.py::test_an_unwritable_location_reports_rather_than_raises, which fails in the sandbox the suite ran in because it runs as root there, and fails the same way on untouched main. ruff check . and the vulture hook pass.
• New: tests/test_config_layout.py. test_app.py, test_claim.py, test_contact.py and test_node_name.py follow the renamed sections.
• On a test node with an RSPduo attached (as part of the combined 20261007 - Add a guided tutorial and regroup the Configuration page #113 build, before 20261008 - Stop blah2 before restarting the SDRplay service #111, 20261008 - Rename routes/mode.py to routes/sdr.py #112 and 20261013 - Show the Tracker at +/-300 Hz by default and flag tracks beyond it #114 merged): the page rendered with the new layout, every radar field inside the form, and the service restarted cleanly.
• Not verified: applying a changed setting through the rearranged form on hardware (the tests cover which fields the form posts; no setting was changed on the node). This branch rebased onto current main has not been on hardware.
