We can reuse our duplicateMaterial function again but in a simpler way. Also finding the preferred material is simpler with our container tree.
However there seems to be a problem with finding the preferred material; it's not finding generic_pla for UM3 and AA0.4 anyway, and then falls back on a random material. This needs to be fixed in the variant node class.

Just like MaterialManager used to be. There can be only one instance of the page then.
This prevents a crash when Qt deletes the QObject because it's no longer used in the page when you close the preferences screen. But when you open it again it doesn't construct a new one. Now there is always one instance so that's not a problem any more. Also it allows other pages to access this item.

Just like the QualityManagementModel, this class is intended to be used as proxy for the material management page in the preferences. I'm intending to move all relevant pyqtSlots from the material manager into this one. The advantage of this switch is that the material manager had no well-bounded scope and so tended to become a big mess of all sorts of functions. This one has a clear scope: serve as a proxy for the buttons you can press in the preferences screen for materials.

Get the quality changes group back from whichever one is actually active on the stack. This prevents the two from getting out of sync, which makes the code easier to maintain.

Removed duplicate fallback mechanism if quality is empty. And removed dependency on shadow administration in _current_quality_group.

The stack already makes it fall through properly, so there's no need to implement the fallback again here.
The only change is that it now displays 0.1mm as default layer height if there is no quality profile active. I don't think this makes a difference since we don't show the layer height then anyway. And technically it would be more correct too.

A good default.
Possible bug: If there are multiple matching quality profiles but the preferred quality profiles matches none or multiple of them, a random one is chosen. The random profile for the global stack may not match the random one for the extruder?

The speed improvement didn't work.
It still doesn't seem to have a lot of effect. Maybe it's not the creating of the tree that causes this slowdown?
