feat(platform): complete $updateSettings deprecation and interface consolidation

- Remove deprecated $updateSettings method entirely
- Migrate 21 components to use proper settings methods
- Consolidate IPlatformServiceMixin and ComponentCustomProperties interfaces
- Establish single source of truth for platform service methods
- Update all components to use $saveMySettings, $saveUserSettings, $saveSettings
- Remove interface duplication and deprecated method warnings
- Ensure clean, maintainable codebase with proper separation of concerns

Breaking Change: $updateSettings method removed - use $saveSettings variants instead
