Description
### Feature Description
Right now light/dark mode is persisted in `~/.local/state/DankMaterialShell/session.json` as `isLightMode`. We should have an option to persist it in `~/.config/DankMaterialShell/settings.json` instead.
### Use Case
I want to control the light/dark mode using my Nix configuration.

### Proposed Solution
Save light/dark mode in `~/.config/DankMaterialShell/setings.json`
### Alternatives/Existing Solutions
I don't think there's an alternative option.

Research direction
Compare the existing isLightMode persistence in ~/.local/state/DankMaterialShell/session.json with the proposed ~/.config/DankMaterialShell/settings.json location. Trace the light/dark mode persistence entry point, then verify that the setting can be controlled through the configuration file and survives restarting DankMaterialShell.
