Change settings format

[jsbackus]

Currently, Windows settings are stored in the registry (for installed versions) or INI files (portable). The registry is nice and all, but it prevents users of the installed version from sharing advanced config beyond the profiles, and it prevents users from sending in their configs for debug. Plus, the INI file is somewhat limited. So, we should consider replacing the registry/INI file system with an XML or JavaScript file.

As this will be disruptive. We'll need a migration path and should ear-mark this for a major release.

AntiMicro is no longer maintained. There were no bigger fixes since 2017.
There is a new recommended version of this app called AntiMicroX.

As a part of cleanup, this issue will be closed and repository will be archived.
If you find this issue relevant also for that new version of application you can create a new issue (or discussion) there (but firstly check it, because many issues of the old app are fixed and there are some new functionalities implemented)
If you will decide to create a new issue for AntiMicroX remember to mention this issue for reference.
