Description
Add a per game user_settings.py
Allow a prefix directory to have an individual user_settings.py to change runtime config options
Justification [optional]
Non-Steam games are not able to use %command% launch options.
There is no way to enable or disable options like DXVK for non-Steam games without making it global.
Risks [optional]
This work could be rendered pointless if the Steam bug is fixed.

Research direction
Start by reviewing how a game's prefix directory is identified and how user_settings.py could provide per-game runtime configuration. Read the linked Steam issue for the non-Steam launch-option limitation. Done means non-Steam games can apply individual settings such as enabling or disabling DXVK without changing global configuration.
