[feature] QgsSettings QGIS QSettings replacement (#4160)
* [feature] QgsSettings QGIS QSettings replacement This is the new QgsSettings class that adds an (optional) Global Settings additional ini file where a system administrator can store default values for the settings and provide pre-configuration. If an ini file named qgis_global_settings.ini is found in the pkgDataPath directory it is automatically loaded, this path can be overriden by a command line argument ( --globalsettingsfile path ) and through an environment variable (QGIS_GLOBAL_SETTINGS_FILE).

/** \ingroup core | ||
* \class QgsSettings | ||
* | ||
* This class is a composition of two QSettings instances: | ||
* - the main QSettings instance is the standard User Settings and | ||
* - the second one (Global Settings) is meant to provide read-only | ||
* pre-configuration and defaults to the first one. | ||
* | ||
* Unlike the original QSettings, the keys of QgsSettings are case insensitive. | ||
* | ||
* For a given settings key, the function call to value(key, default) will return | ||
* the first existing setting in the order specified below: | ||
* - User Settings | ||
* - Global Settings | ||
* - Default Value | ||
* | ||
* The path to the Global Settings storage can be set before constructing the QgsSettings | ||
* objects, with a static call to: | ||
* static bool setGlobalSettingsPath( QString path ); | ||
* | ||
* QgsSettings provides some shortcuts to get/set namespaced settings from/to a specific section: | ||
* - Core | ||
* - Gui | ||
* - Server | ||
* - Plugins | ||
* - Misc | ||
* | ||
* @note added in QGIS 3 | ||

* - QgsSettings provides no way of reading INI "path" entries, i.e., entries with unescaped slash characters. | ||
* (This is because these entries are ambiguous and cannot be resolved automatically.) | ||
* - In INI files, QSettings uses the @ character as a metacharacter in some contexts, to encode | ||
* Qt-specific data types (e.g., \@Rect), and might therefore misinterpret it when it occurs | ||
* in pure INI files. | ||
