- Frontend is not meant to know about the underlying source of the "routes" configuration, so any reads/edits/validations are being moved into a backend service. This should also simplify the coupling of the backend with the frontend where the latter will get a JSON blob with all needed configuration during the boot
- Nother problem the "get" method had was hiding an underlying function it was doing - reading the file from the filesystem SYNCRONOUSLY. It might be a thing we need to do during the "web" app initialization, but there's no clear need to do this in a sync fassion during the bootup for example. Also having a more explicit name should help :)

- Actions logic related to file system operations (like ensuring files exist) should be done on the backend. Now the route settings initialization logic lives on the backend it makes sense to keep the file closer to the source.
- The move is the opposite to the one refed in the commit with a
difference that the file now lives in "route-settings"
- The main goal here is getting this settings related code out of the routing service as it really doesn't belong there
- This settings file is used purely by the API to get and set files - its not really anything to do with actual routing
- This file calls out to the bridge to do a reload, which helps decouple slightly
- More refactoring is needed to get rid of the urlService dependency
- Note this file is really similar to the redirects one, it would be good to merge them
