Add an entry point for sync from the settings ui #91601

One of the things that came out of the study was that users often went to the settings ui to try to set this up. Now, they may not have known what word to look for (see #91192) but they did scan the page for some type of entry point.

I'm not quite sure if and where this should live, but figured I'd get the conversation going. I'm not saying this is something we should do, just that we know this is the first place users go to.

One idea is to add a button somewhere, but then that brings up the "where does Sync live” and where else we'd want to show indicators:

Or maybe it's just that we add a setting that is bubbled up to the top:

Other browsers do something similar when going to the browsers settings, but have a different approach with an actual "profile" section as the first item:
