Use the flask-native global configuration store instead of rolling our own
trafficstars
Every Flask app has a .config attribute to store configuration. Additionally, for MSColab we have mscolab_settings. I think this is redundant, we could just use app.config for everything that should be made globally available in the application in a key-value fashion.
This would also become important once there is not just a singular global APP instance, but the possibility to instantiate more then one Flask app, as each app needs its own configuration. This is something that mscolab_settings is not set up for ATM.
This came up in https://github.com/Open-MSS/MSS/pull/2499#discussion_r1740502760.
