refactor(settings): Use prescient together with ivy
Ivy's regex-based fuzzy matching can occasionally be slow, which was
getting on my nerves.

This switches the completion engine to prescient[1] which promises to
be faster. Experimental testing in large files like the
`configuration.nix` man page looks promissing.
