[Feature]: Per User Profiles / Save Data

[lumberfoot]

What does this relate to?

User interface, Emulator or game launching, Library, scanning, or folders

What problem would this solve?

Currently, you cannot share your Cocoon enabled device with a family member and play the same game together (for example: while one of you is at work/school) because you would just overwrite each other's game save data.

What would you like Cocoon to do?

Cocoon would allow users to create "user profiles" for a singular device.

For example:
Profile_1_David
Profile_2_Brother
Profile_3_Sister
Profile_4_Dad
Profile_5_Mom

Each user's profile would create a unique folder directory to save their game save data (and maybe other stuff like theme customization, performance settings, homescreen layout, etc).

Before any game is launched, a prompt will ask the user to "select a user profile" to read/write save data from. This will ensure that the other existing users' game save data is locked/untouched while another user is playing a game on the device.

This would be called the Cocoon "Family Sharing" update :)

What do you do today?

None. The other person needs to buy their own retro handheld and configure Cocoon on the own device.

Additional context

The Nintendo Switch has an existing "user profile" system for reference.
The Steam Family Sharing feature can also be looked at for reference.

#235 is also somewhat relevant: Android itself has support for isolated user profiles at an OS level but, due to a bug in Cocoon, these currently do not function correctly with RetroArch.
