Config JSON

[ithinkandicode]

Note: I've tested this extensively, incl. with the CLI args, so there shouldn't be any issues or errors unless I've completely missed something

Config JSONs

• Adds support for per-mod config JSONs in res://configs. View the README for full details.
• Provides a new utility func get_mod_config(mod_id, key).
  • This can be used to get the full data, or data from a specific key.
  • Includes extensive validation, with error messages and codes listed in the README.
• Supports setting default options via a new required manifest key, config_defaults.
  • If set, using get_mod_config when no custom JSON file is present will return your manifest's defaults instead.
• Includes support for overwriting the configs dir with a CLI arg, --configs-path.
  • Follows the precedent set by of Add cli argument for mod folder path #28.
• Closes Config JSON #15.

Misc Changes

• Lots of improvements to README:
  • Add table of contents
  • Docs for mod_log and dev_log methods
  • New sections for CLI Args & Config Options
  • Overview table for Helper Methods
  • Change spaces to tabs for the JSON examples
• Adds or improves a few comments
• Adds required manifest key: namespace (AuthorName)
• Adds required manifest key: compatible_modloader_version.
  • This lets us implement Add required ModLoader version to manifest.json #13 at a later date, without breaking compatibility with mods built for this version of ModLoader.

Breaking Changes

• manifest.json key: namespace
• manifest.json key: extra.godot.config_defaults
• manifest.json key: extra.godot.compatible_modloader_version

After going through all of it, it seems like everything is correctly in place and is well commented, as this is a big pr, I will probably wait for KANA to go through all of it too before approving.
