Description
### Enhancement Summary
It would be a good idea to search for carla in a user defined settings (either via gui or the `lmmsrc.xml` file) in windows.
#### Justification
Currently, LMMS uses the `PATH` environment variable to search for carla. Using PATH is unintuitive for new users looking to use carla with lmms on windows and also got some minor technical issues.
I'm talking about adding carla path as an entry here.

Research direction
Start by locating the Windows Carla lookup that currently relies on PATH, then inspect how LMMS settings are exposed through the GUI and lmmsrc.xml. Done means users can configure Carla's path in either supported settings location and LMMS uses it when searching for Carla on Windows.
