Make storage local to the remote server

This makes user settings will be stored in the file system instead of in browser
storage. Using browser storage makes sharing or seeding settings between
browsers difficult and remote settings is not a sufficient replacement because
some settings are only allowed to be set on the user level.

Unfortunately this does not affect state which uses a separate method with
IndexedDB and does not appear nearly as easy to redirect to disk.

To test change settings from the UI and on disk while making sure they appear on
the other side.

This patch also resolves a bug where a global value for workspace initialization
is used in a non async-safe way.
