Self contained mode

The self contained mode can be used to package godot for distribution systems where godot

The self contained mode can be used to package Godot for distribution systems where it

On Windows, the file name to use is ``_sc_`` (without the preceding dot).
In self contained mode, all config files are located next to the executable in a directory
called ``editor_data``. Godot doesn't read or write to the per-user location anymore.
The contents of the ``._sc_`` file (when not empty) are read with the ConfigFile api (same
format as ``engine.cfg``, etc). So far it can contain a list of pre-loaded project in this
format as ``project.godot``, etc). So far it can contain a list of pre-loaded project in this
