Confidence threasholds increment/decrement by 0.01%

[peterwilsoncc]

Describe the bug

In features that include a confidence threshold using a type=number input, the scroll buttons increment and decrement the threshold by 0.01%.

It would be preferable to increment by a larger amount as it's unlikely a human will consider anything greater than 1% increments, most likely they will use 5 or 10%.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Go to Language Processing > Classification Settings
2. Click the up or down button next to one of the confidence settings
3. Observe the increment/decrement value is 0.01%
4. Go to Image Processing > Descriptive Text Generator Settings
5. Click the up or down button next to the confidence settings
6. Observe same.

Code of Conduct

• I agree to follow this project's Code of Conduct

[dkotter]

Worth noting this was a conscious decision to allow that level of granularity here. I'd have to look up the commit history to find the conversation but this originally incremented by 1 and we decided to change it to 0.01.

Reasoning here is the thresholds that are returned (or calculated in the case of embeddings) are usually very specific, things like 52.341248%. So there can be a fairly big difference between setting a threshold of 52% or 53%, so allowing more decimal places allows for more fine-tuning of what results are used.

All that said, I imagine most users are keeping these to specific intervals as it's always been confusing on what these thresholds actually mean (which we recently added some helper text to explain these a bit better). So I'm not opposed to changing this back to using 1 as the step value here if we think that is best.
