user_settings: Add option to disable escape key navigation to default view.

Add `escape_navigates_to_default_view` as a bool setting in
UserBaseSettings model and implement it as a checkbox that toggles
the hotkey implementation of escape to the default view in the
advanced user display settings.

With /help/ documentation edits from Alya Abbott.

Fixes #20043.

# Change default view
The default view in Zulip (i.e. what view you reach after logging in
to the Zulip web app or hitting the `Esc` keyboard shortcut repeatedly)
can be configured. By default, **Recent topics** is the default view;
the previous default, **All messages**, is also supported.
[Contact us](/help/contact-support) if you'd like to be able to
configure a different view as the default.
### Change default view
{start_tabs}
{settings_tab|display-settings}
2. Under **Advanced**, click on the **Default view** dropdown.
3. Select a view.
4. Open a new Zulip tab or press `Esc` twice (first to exit the
settings overlay, and again to return to the default view) to see
your changes in action.

# Configure default view
The default view in Zulip is the view you reach after logging in
to the Zulip web app. You can also navigate to the default view via
keyboard shortcuts.
The default views available in Zulip are
[Recent topics](/help/recent-topics) and
[All messages](/help/reading-strategies#all-messages). See
[Reading strategies](/help/reading-strategies) for recommendations
on how to use these views.
You can configure which view is set as your default, and whether
the `Esc` key navigates to the default view. Also, you can always reach
the default view by using the `Ctrl + [` shortcut.
## Change default view
Organization administrators can [set the default view for their
organization](/help/configure-default-new-user-settings) to
[**Recent topics**](/help/recent-topics) or
[**All messages**](/help/reading-strategies#all-messages).
**Recent topics** is especially recommended for high-traffic
organizations, and is configured by default.
You can customize your personal default view regardless of
organization settings:
{start_tabs}
{settings_tab|display-settings}
2. Under **Advanced**, click on the **Default view** dropdown
and select a view.
1. To see your changes in action, open a new Zulip tab, or use a keyboard
shortcut twice to exit the settings and navigate to your default view
(`Ctrl + [` or `Esc` if enabled).
[configure-esc]: /help/configure-default-view#set-whether-esc-navigates-to-the-default-view
{end_tabs}
## Set whether `Esc` navigates to the default view
Zulip has a number of [keyboard shortcuts](/help/keyboard-shortcuts)
designed to enhance the user experience in the app.
By default, the `Esc` key shortcut will ultimately navigate to your
default view. You can disable this keybinding if you would prefer.
This will not disable other `Esc` key shortcuts used in Zulip,
and will not affect the behavior of the `Ctrl+[` shortcut.
### Toggle whether `Esc` navigates to the default view
{start_tabs}
{settings_tab|display-settings}
1. Under **Advanced**, check or uncheck **Escape key navigates to
default view**, as desired.
{end_tabs}
