Project settings : Move issue tracking settings to their own tab

Project settings
Description
I'd like to move a few issue tracking related settings to their own tab in project settings:
- trackers selection
- issue custom fields selection
- default version
- default assignee
That would make the project form on the first tab a bit cleaner. Unlike now, trackers and issue custom fields would not appear on the new project form but default trackers can now be configured in application settings.
Feedback is welcome.

There are some discussions regarding project settings screen refactorization also in #22090.

I agree. There are too many fields in Information tab. However, I am concerned that the number of tabs in project settings will be excessive. There are already 9 tabs.

I think it will be a little inconvenient but it is not a big problem because project settings screen will be displayed after creating a project.

I think we should remove the Modules tab and leave the modules below the project form just like it is when creating a new project.
It would also makes sense to remove the Wiki tab and let the user mark a wiki page as the start page directly from the wiki.

I think it would actually make the process of changing the start page more straightforward than having go to project settings and enter the title of the start page manually.

+1
The "Issue tracking" tab is now added. What about removing the Wiki tab as proposed above?

What UI do you think?
I am afraid of having too many buttons in the contextual area of a wiki page. There are already 6 buttons and the contextual area is too wide. I am sometimes bothered by wrapped wiki title due to too wide contextual area. It will get worse if another button is added.

Perhaps, it would be a good idea to hide less used functions in a dropdown menu with a ... button like in #26655.

FTR: this is done by #26579.
