Motivation and Context

Currently we do not have a good way to surface information to users about configuration problems or other OBS 'System Health' issues. Often these warnings are part of startup, adding to an already large pile of dialogs and popups we can potentially spawn. In other cases, they are specific to particular settings themselves and only visible when the settings window is open and you are looking at the specific section or actual option.

This system aims to be for configuration warnings or problems which can be resolved, in contrast to a notification system.

I would appreciate feedback from people testing, as well as suggestions for which other settings issues or configuration might be good candidates to be added here.

How Has This Been Tested?

Created some test health items locally, as well as hooked up the scene collection missing files dialog to this system.

Expected behaviour is that Critical items will show in the list first, and fixed items will disappear.

The idian widgets were built when we had a much lower
understanding of how Qt expects you to build custom
complex widgets and without a direct use-case.

They were also built far too rigid for what every attempted
use of them thus far has necessitated. These changes break
them into simpler 'pieces' and provide getters for internals
that are intended to be accessed.
