Add preference to customize all swipe behaviors

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The current implementation of swipe actions is not aligned with the general convention adopted by most other fesiverse apps. It makes for a frustrating transition to Artemis. The convention is:

  • Short Swipe Right = ⬆️ Upvote

  • Long Swipe Right = ⬇️ downvote

  • Short Swipe Left = ↕️ Collapse

  • Long Swipe Left = ⤵️ Reply

Describe the solution you'd like

Matching those actions in artemis would be great! (On the long run, a setting to customize each short/long/right/left action would be great)

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additionally, when Swiping, instead of revealing multiple buttons that then need to be pressed to disappear, a single icon (and matching color background) that changes depending on the Short/Long Pull can be clearer. If collapse is moved to a Short Left Swipe, that would allow the Tap action (maybe change to a Double Tap to avoid single taps by mistakes, I may make a separate bug report for that) could be used for 🚀 Boost, which would also match the Imgur convention of Double Tap to 💚 Like, which is also separate from upvoting on the platform.

Finally, Boosting could upvote at the same time (when would you chose to Boost without upvoting?) you could always downvote after boosting, or a Pref Setting could toggle this behavior.

Additional context

I understand app design and behavior will be changing during beta, and this is not the final implementation, I'm just reporting my ideas in hopes of seeing Artemis turning into The Threadiverse app I (and hopefully everyone else) will want to use constantly.

Note: Most of the behavior I'm reporting is similar to how Memmy App currently works. As of now it's the app I use for navigating the threadiverse, but the fact that it isn't supporting Kbin is a limiting factor. Looking forward to seeing Atremis soaring to the moon!
