Description

Currently there is quarto.path but no quarto.args. It would be useful to set options at user level, since there is no config file beyond the project.

Here is a real-life use case: https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-cli/discussions/8583#discussioncomment-8397098

EDIT: I understand it's not that easy since there are many subcommands. I guess quarto.renderArgs is a good compromise.

Research direction

Start by locating the VSCode integration that handles the existing quarto.path setting. Trace how user-level settings are registered and how CLI subcommands receive options; done means the proposed quarto.renderArgs setting can supply arguments to the relevant invocation without requiring a project config file.
