Put an opt-out for the New Filters onto the Watchlist preferences page

Description

NOTE: this task creates functionality that is essentially the same as that created in T168376 and T175765, but for Watchlist instead of RC page.

When beta graduation happens for Watchlist, we will let users opt out of the new UX if they want. This ticket describes the opt-out tools and functionality.

Functionality

After beta graduation for Watchlist, a new preference for "Hide the improved version of Watchlist" will be displayed on the Watchlist preferences tab. When a user selects this:

Watchlist is rolled back to the old version.
Saved System preferences will be re-established in the old interface, including any ORES preferences.
- If the user had a default Saved Filter in the new UX, we will NOT attempt to map that back to the old preferences. (The user loses his Saved Filters along with all the other benefits of the new UX.)

Layout and wording

Add a new section with the following title: Opt out of improvements
This section will look essentially like the one on the Recent Changes tab.
Position this new section underneath the current "Advanced options" section and above "Token".
Wording for the opt-out is as follows:
- Main option text: Hide the improved version of Watchlist
- Subtitle/description in small, gray font: Rolls back the 2017 interface redesign and all tools added then and since.

Are we going to have a smooth rollout for already active users, like the following?
For people who have created an account before the release:

people who have opted-in the Beta feature get the new filters
people who have not opted-in the Beta feature keep their watchlist as it is
- they can opt-in in their preferences

For people who have created an account after the release:

they get the new filters on their watchlist
they can opt-out in their preferences

As discussed during the last team meeting, we are not going through the solution I've suggested. Instead, people will have the opportunity to opt-out when whey will access their watchlist, as described on T195427: Introduce the New Filters to Watchlist users upon beta graduation (and provide instant opt-out).

Main option text: Hide the improved version of Watchlist

Is it OK to say "of the Watchlist" instead?

I think both formulations are used but you are right that that sounds more standard. So go for the "the".
