Also fix unnecessary emitting of switching extruder tabs.
This should improve performance a lot. I tested a lot of things and am convinced that it didn't break anything. But the automated GUI tests and QA team should be the final arbiters of that...

We just track it via the preference value itself rather than duplicating that in any other data structure. It's simple enough.

And make all subclasses run its super _update as well to make sure that this gets updated for them. It's necessary for the _createMaterialItem functionality because it needs to add an is_favorite role.

The MaterialManager.materialsUpdated signal was only called once upon init and for the rest when a favourite was added or removed. So only the FavoriteMaterialsModel would need to listen to it.
Because the MaterialManager is being deprecated, the favourite materials model now just listens to the preferences changing instead, as it was supposed to be doing anyway.

If the metadata changed, such as whether a material was favourite or not, then the materials models were not updating any more because the actual list of available materials was still the same.
I've removed this optimisation and tested performance locally. It seems to be slightly slower (though that might be placebo or measurement error). However most of the performance boost of cura-6016 was resulting from different changes there so the interface still seems to be quite a lot faster than what it used to be.

Did this so that models can be updated more often fixing bugs where when a material is set as "not favorite" in the favorites section, its updated accordingly in its "normal" section.
It's also the ground work for saving material section expansion to preferences.

I was hoping to completely nix the generic materials model (since it's basically just a brand "Generic", but then in the QML it has to be have the same in terms of sub-menus or fold-outs and that looked stupid (Generic -> ABS -> ABS)). So we keep that one for now. It is cleaner though.

when the extruder stack changes.
- What happen was that when the extruder model needed to update, the
material model was not updated correctly and so when changing a material, the
node was incorrect.
