fix(client): drop the "No changes to save" hint beside Save

The hint was added alongside the .app-save control, when an inert Save
was indistinguishable from an enabled one and the reader had no way to
tell "nothing changed" from "this is broken". The control now reads as
disabled on its own, so the sentence beside it is noise.

Removing it also removes what only existed to carry it: the .app-save-row
wrapper, its two style rules, and settings_app.no_changes in all ten
locales.

test_the_disabled_state_is_visually_distinct sliced the stylesheet on
.app-save-row; it now stops at the closing brace of .app-save:disabled.
