Generalize PrefService API

[hinerm]

The PrefService was a refactoring of the Prefs class, which was bound to java.util.Preferences (see #102 for details). Thus the API is fairly specific to java.util.Preferences.

Areas to generalize:

• [ ] getters and setters for each type
• [ ] Maps that only hold String values
• [ ] Lists that only hold String values
• [ ] Remove the access to global, Class-less preferences. These only encourage name clashes for no concrete benefit.

We should tackle this (if indeed we decide there is anything to tackle here) at the same time as #345.
