Consolidates platform-specific config-directory logic (APPDATA on Windows,
~/Library/Application Support on macOS, ~/.config on Linux) into a single
user_config_path(filename) function in utilities/utilities.{cpp,h}, removing
copy-pasted #ifdef blocks from application.cpp, editor/editorSettings.cpp,
input/{keyboard,gamepad,drivermouse,uart}input.cpp.
