Merge #580: feat(desktop): portable mode, portable.txt next to the executable (#574)

Conflict: apps/designcraft/src/profile.rs: recovery_dir takes the PR's root_with (config override, else portable folder) and keeps next's .map(own_run) and own_run
Conflict: README.md: the PR's Portable mode section, then next's Graphics backend and processor section

### Portable mode
A file named `portable.txt` next to the executable (on macOS, next to `DesignCraft.app`) makes the install portable: settings, logs and
crash recovery are kept in a `DesignCraftData` folder beside it instead of the per-user folders
above. The Windows portable zip ships with one; delete it to go back to `%APPDATA%\DesignCraft`.
`DESIGNCRAFT_CONFIG_DIR` still takes precedence. The code is `apps/designcraft/src/profile.rs`.
### Graphics backend and processor
