Setup page changes: Regrouping and categorization of features

Consistency and clarity
Some features have been renamed to adhere to standardized naming conventions. In addition, related features are grouped together, and new groups have been introduced to maintain consistency, ease navigation, and minimize confusion, making your Zoho Desk experience more user-friendly.
