Introduction of the New Lightweight Preset System

The legacy (prefab-based) preset system is now obsolete.
The new system uses UIEffectPreset assets to define and manage presets.

If your project is still using legacy preset prefabs, you can convert them to the new asset-based format via Project Settings.
Note that while legacy presets are still supported for now, they may be deprecated in the future.

For more details, see the [documentation](https://github.com/mob-sakai/UIEffect?tab=readme-ov-file#project-settings).
