[SETTINGS_MANAGER] Change location of settings from single hard-coded value to OS-specific paths

On Linux, there is an issue - when built dlt-viewer is installed, the plugin can't write to settings files, as they are located nearby the plugin, in the read-only area of the file-system.

This should be changed. Settings should be located in the user folder which is open for read-write operations.

That will allow to:

  • avoid the issue with read-only fs area
  • have user-specific settings instead of the global ones

P.S. There should also appear a new context menu "Open settings location". That will make life easier for the user if he wants to get an understanding of where the settings are located.
