FIX: Do not reset seen popups when skip_new_user_tips is false (#19345)

* FIX: Save only visible fields from the sidebar page

* FIX: Do not reset seen popups when set to false

If the option was unchecked, but it was not changed at all by the user
it was still sent to the server as a 'false' value which reset all seen
popups. This removes that behavior and resetting the list of seen popups
must be done using the "skip new user tips" button.
