[Feature]: Backup & Restore for settings and migration #26515

Summary

Add a Backup and Restore feature for settings

Problem to solve

It's currently difficult to move OpenClaw to a new server or keep a safety copy of my settings. If I make a mistake or need to migrate, I have to manually re-enter all API keys and configurations from scratch.

Proposed solution

Add an "Export" button to save all settings (API keys, preferences, etc.) into a single file, and an "Import" button to upload that file and restore everything instantly. This would make migration and data safety much easier.

Alternatives considered

Manually copying configuration files from the Linux VPS via SSH, which is a bit of a hassle for most users.

Impact

This feature will make OpenClaw much more user-friendly and reliable. It allows users to easily move their setup between different environments (like from a local PC to a VPS). It also gives users peace of mind, knowing they have a safety backup of their API keys and custom configurations.
