[QGIS-Developer] QgsSettings + ows key cleanup?

[Alessandro Pasotti]

Hi Richard,

Cleaning is always very welcome!

I think that to bring some more order to the root level settings, we should
eventually make more use of the optional section argument:

https://qgis.org/api/classQgsSettings.html#aba2f174ee000905cac8aff26665ed7c7

This is not implemented for groups though, but if you feel it could be
helpful I can add it.

Cheers.
