Implement unresolved link handling and note adoption features

- Added functionality to intercept unresolved link clicks in both Reading View and Live Preview, allowing users to create notes directly from unresolved links.
- Introduced settings for auto-starting interviews on unresolved link clicks, bypass modifiers for link interception, and options for adopting newly created notes in the editor.
- Enhanced the settings interface with new options for managing unresolved link behavior and note adoption criteria.
- Implemented a file create handler to automatically adopt new notes based on content length and user confirmation.
- Improved error handling and user notifications throughout the new features for a better user experience.
