This will allow us to add e.g. React `useState`'s that are used by the whole application in the future. Signed-off-by: Leonard Göhrs <l.goehrs@pengutronix.de>
The App.test.tsx file was created by create-react-app when initially setting up the project. It has not been updated or used since then though.

There are two things in the web interface that look like they can be used to change a piece of configuration but actually can't:
As @a3f (I think) rightfully stated this is a bit confusing to the user,
but actually implementing such actions (in a somewhat safe way) would be quite a lot of work and performing these actions is not something a user would do regularly.
Instead display a notification when one of the actions is requested that looks something like this:
