Simplify character dossier fields, add ShowPronouns setting

Collapse Want/Need into Motivation and Internal/External Conflict into
Conflict, drop Arc summary field, and move tags below open questions on
the character page. Gate Pronouns display behind new UiSettings:ShowPronouns
config (default off).
