Reload settings in a separate thread to not freeze Config Screen

- Generating embeddings takes time
- If user enables a content type and clicks start.
  The app starts to generate embeddings when loading the new settings
- Run this function in a separate thread to keep config screen responsive
- But disable start button to prevent re-entrant threads
- Also show a minimal visual indication that the app is saving state
