User preferences are stored in PMA configuration storage or in user session
(then they are lost when session expires). They can be backed up and
restored from localStorage.

All options available in setup script are defined in setup.forms.php, and
all options that can be changed by users are stored in
user_preferences.forms.php (unless an option is excluded by
UserprefsDisallow array - then users can't change it).
