Some search params within the list view do not properly sync to user
preferences, and visa versa.
For example, when selecting a query preset, the `?preset=123` param is
injected into the URL and saved to preferences, but when reloading the
page without the param, that preset is not reactivated as expected.
### Problem
The reason this wasn't working before is that omitting this param would
also reset prefs. It was designed this way in order to support
client-side resets, e.g. clicking the query presets "x" button.
This pattern would never work, however, because this means that every
time the user navigates to the list view directly, their preference is
cleared, as no param would exist in the query.
Note: this is not an issue with _all_ params, as not all are handled in
the same way.
### Solution
The fix is to use empty values instead, e.g. `?preset=`. When the server
receives this, it knows to clear the pref. If it doesn't exist at all,
it knows to load from prefs. And if it has a value, it saves to prefs.
On the client, we sanitize those empty values back out so they don't
appear in the URL in the end.
This PR also refactors much of the list query context and its respective
provider to be significantly more predictable and easier to work with,
namely:
- The `ListQuery` type now fully aligns with what Payload APIs expect,
e.g. `page` is a number, not a string
- The provider now receives a single `query` prop which matches the
underlying context 1:1
- Propagating the query from the server to the URL is significantly more
predictable
- Any new props that may be supported in the future will automatically
work
- No more reconciling `columns` and `listPreferences.columns`, its just
`query.columns`

Query Presets allow you to save and share filters, columns, and sort
orders for your collections. This is useful for reusing common or
complex filtering patterns and column configurations across your team.
Query Presets are defined on the fly by the users of your app, rather
than being hard coded into the Payload Config.
Here's a screen recording demonstrating the general workflow as it
relates to the list view. Query Presets are not exclusive to the admin
panel, however, as they could be useful in a number of other contexts
and environments.

Each Query Preset is saved as a new record in the database under the
`payload-query-presets` collection. This will effectively make them
CRUDable and allows for an endless number of preset configurations. As
you make changes to filters, columns, limit, etc. you can choose to save
them as a new record and optionally share them with others.
Normal document-level access control will determine who can read,
update, and delete these records. Payload provides a set of sensible
defaults here, such as "only me", "everyone", and "specific users", but
you can also extend your own set of access rules on top of this, such as
"by role", etc. Access control is customizable at the operation-level,
for example you can set this to "everyone" can read, but "only me" can
update.
To enable the Query Presets within a particular collection, set
`enableQueryPresets` on that collection's config.
Here's an example:
```ts
{
// ...
enableQueryPresets: true
}
```
Once enabled, a new set of controls will appear within the list view of
the admin panel. This is where you can select and manage query presets.
General settings for Query Presets are configured under the root
`queryPresets` property. This is where you can customize the labels,
apply custom access control rules, etc.
Here's an example of how you might augment the access control properties
with your own custom rule to achieve RBAC:
```ts
{
// ...
queryPresets: {
constraints: {
read: [
{
label: 'Specific Roles',
value: 'specificRoles',
fields: [roles],
access: ({ req: { user } }) => ({
'access.update.roles': {
in: [user?.roles],
},
}),
},
],
}
}
}
```
