Create Seperate Settings Tab in GUI Client

[gabehxd]

Code for configuration is mainly all in the main form and would require a bit of abstraction

In order to make the config abstract, we could probably use C#'s Settings.Default as the main configuration method. This method saves our variables in the .config file that already ships with the app, essentially replacing the JSON format we currently use. If we were to do this, we'd need to also add code to support conversion from the legacy JSON file to the new .config format as well.

Is that human-readable and writable for a non-technical user?

[Azure-Agst]

Subjective. It's an XML derivative, so there's a key for each setting that contains the corresponding value. Not as simple as JSON, but not super esoteric either. If we wanted to stick with JSON, we could. Shouldn't be too hard. This was just a quick potential solution.

Update:
Had some time on my hands so I decided to look into this. Figured we might as well stick with JSON and ended up moving the load and save functions to the Config class. You can see my progress on my f/settings branch.
