refresh the group locking system

a few ideas:

1) there are times when people are prioritizing a certain type of trade (i.e c$ shop sales) and only want those groups open, but it is incredibly tedious for those with a large amount of groups to shuffle through each individual tab to lock and unlock every single one accordingly. additionally, because we cannot preview how our open trade groups appear to others through the trading center (as we can with trade rules) it is difficult to be certain that all the groups we think are open are open and all the groups we think are closed are closed. and it easy to miss a tab when you’re going down a large row of them. i propose a settings page that looks like this:

select the groups you wish to (lock/unlock) | select all deselect all
group a
group b
group c
group d
group f

for….
everybody
everybody but friends
trading for wishlist pets only

and within this menu, we could also create preset settings to switch on/off when we want to quickly change our trading objectives (ex: focusing only on c$ shops: preset that has all groups but c$ shops locked; focusing only on trade-ups; preset that has all but lower tier pets locked)

2), it would also be great if we could unlock certain trade groups from within an active trade, or for a trade we are initiating *for that trade only*. there are times when i am seeking a certain pet and open to offering locked pets for it but do not want my other active trades to be able to access the group as well should i go unlock it. it would also be helpful for directing people to the groups that i prefer the trade is isolated to - if we could inversely lock groups for that particular trade.

a current workaround is to set the locked groups to "friends only" and add the partner as a friend, but that involves, imo unnecessary steps to friend/unfriend and also risks other active trades with friends having access
