- It's a step to making the module follow class+DI pattern before fully extracting it into an external libarary
- Reminder, doing in Ghost repo instead of substituting big chunks all at once to have clear history of how the service evolved prior to the extraction into external lib!

- Ensure settings had only one method but would benefit from class+DI pattern before extracting it into an outside module.
- The logic is now also less coupled with "routes" and single source/destination paths. It's all configureable instead and might be reused if similar pattern is needed for example with redirect settings defaults.
- i18n is an old pattern we are getting rid of in favour of tpl
- after removing i18n from helpers, there wasn't many usages of i18n left in the frontend, this removes whats left!
- this was done on a branch at the same time as Naz's commits removing i18n from the settings-related files
- hence some of these changes are minor amends to add additional messages/change names, rather than just straightup i18n->tpl
- it's a merge of both our refactors :)

- There's no reason for the boot to block the event by loading route settings sychronously
- The only leftover use of a sync loader might also be refactored in some way to avoid blocking the event loo - for example by caching the value on the service layer.

- The only allowed route settings name is 'routes.yaml', which removes a need to parameterize the function as the location is permanent anyway
- Simplifying the function in any possible way before extracting the common bits into an external lib

- Frontend is not meant to know about the underlying source of the "routes" configuration, so any reads/edits/validations are being moved into a backend service. This should also simplify the coupling of the backend with the frontend where the latter will get a JSON blob with all needed configuration during the boot
- Nother problem the "get" method had was hiding an underlying function it was doing - reading the file from the filesystem SYNCRONOUSLY. It might be a thing we need to do during the "web" app initialization, but there's no clear need to do this in a sync fassion during the bootup for example. Also having a more explicit name should help :)

- Actions logic related to file system operations (like ensuring files exist) should be done on the backend. Now the route settings initialization logic lives on the backend it makes sense to keep the file closer to the source.
- The move is the opposite to the one refed in the commit with a
difference that the file now lives in "route-settings"
- The main goal here is getting this settings related code out of the routing service as it really doesn't belong there
- This settings file is used purely by the API to get and set files - its not really anything to do with actual routing
- This file calls out to the bridge to do a reload, which helps decouple slightly
- More refactoring is needed to get rid of the urlService dependency
- Note this file is really similar to the redirects one, it would be good to merge them
