Issue #1200: portable mode, a portable.txt beside the executable keeps settings in LightCraftData

Browse Source 
As in PhotoCraft: when portable.txt (or LightCraft.portable) sits next to the
executable, config_dir() is <exe dir>/LightCraftData, so settings, logs and
models stay with a portable copy instead of %APPDATA%. LIGHTCRAFT_CONFIG_DIR
still wins and is used without probing beside the executable. A portable
folder that can't be written logs a warning and the platform folder is used.
The check runs once per process.

**Portable mode:** a file named `portable.txt` (or `LightCraft.portable`) next to the executable moves the settings
folder to `LightCraftData` beside it. A
launch from a desktop menu or the Dock has no terminal, so attach this file to a bug report (**Help ▸ Open Log
Folder** shows it in the file manager). Each start moves the
previous log to `lightcraft.1.log` and that one to `lightcraft.2.log`, so the log of a run that crashed survives the
