Since 84742a0, all settings are sent in the `user_settings` dictionary
which were previously sent inline with other fields in /register
response.
In order to simplify the process of adding new personal settings, we
want to transition to a world where new settings only need to consider
the `property_types` object, and code that needs to reference the
legacy behavior interacts with an object with `legacy` in its name.
This way, contributors working on new settings don't need to think
about the legacy code paths at all.
See https://chat.zulip.org/#narrow/stream/378-api-design/topic/user.20settings.20response.20in.20.2Fregister
to understand this better.
