Use toast for preferences saved notification

Chad Lavimoniere requested to merge 331162-change-alert-to-toast-for-confirmation-under-user-settings into master

What does this MR do and why?

Toasts are the preferred pattern for giving users transient positive feedback about immediate actions. This MR changes user preference save interactions to use Toasts instead of Alerts.

Cf. docs on alert and toast.
