Settings grouping is not consistent

Describe the bug

A user might be confused on why options are in some places. For example, Sync with installed Epic Games is the third option in the General settings but it's not relevant to users that only use GOG, and there's no equivalent option for GOG. Then we have other Epic related settings (like the legendary path and the EOS overlay or the non-https download) in the Advanced settings, but there's a gog binary configuration in the middle and the non-https function I think only applies to Epic.

Maybe we need an Epic and a GOG sections in the settings?

Also, in the Others section there's a mix of toggles that affect default game settings when a game is installed (like show FPS, use GameMode, Pulse Audio fix, env variables, and more) and toggles or settings for heroic's config like automatically creating shorcuts, discord rich presence or add as non-steam configuration. Maybe elements should be moved to other screens or group them more consistently.

In the General settings we have the Max number of workers when downloading that probably works better in the Advanced section.

Steps to reproduce

Navigate Heroic's settings and check the options in each section and you'll see some things seems to be related but are in unrelated places.

Expected behavior

It should be easier for a user to see related options close to each other.
