Subject: [PATCH] Reorganize Autotask settings with separate save buttons and
 validation

Split Autotask settings into two separate forms with dedicated save
buttons and field validation:

1. Autotask Settings form:
   - Save button inside card for better UX
   - Required fields: Environment, Username, Password (if not set),
     Tracking Identifier, Base URL
   - Red asterisks indicate required fields

2. Ticket Defaults form:
   - Separate save button inside card
   - Required fields: Queue, Ticket Source, Status, Priority Warning,
     Priority Error
   - Prevents saving incomplete configurations

Benefits:
- Clear visual separation of concerns
- Prevents accidental saving of empty values
- HTML5 validation ensures all required fields are filled
- Better user experience with focused save actions
