refactor(slideshow): replace per-event-type preset with a picpeak-wide one

The slideshow display preset (transition / interval / speed / color filter) was
set PER EVENT TYPE in the Edit Event Type dialog. Replace it with a single
picpeak-wide default in Settings -> Slideshow ("Default style for new
slideshows"). New events seed their show_* columns from this global preset
(was: from the event type's slideshow_preset); the per-event override is
unchanged.

- Removed event_types.slideshow_preset usage everywhere (EventTypeModal section,
  eventTypes.service types, eventTypeService whitelist, adminEventTypes
  validators/POST). The DB column from migration 138 is left inert.
- Global preset stored in app_settings (slideshow_interval_ms/transition/
  transition_ms/colorfilter), saved via PUT /admin/settings/slideshow.
- adminEvents create-seeding now reads the global preset (getAppSetting) instead
  of the event type.
- en/de: presetTitle + presetHint.
