[Gtkradiant] Prefences in plugins ?

[Timothee Besset]

At some point the required modules will be in the game description. This
is part of a more general work that has begun on the 'synapse' branch. I
have no interest in looking at it or implementing it now. The focus is on
basic multiple games support, the module selection is done implicitely by
installing different game packs in different locations for now.

A useful thing to do for now though, and probably a more self contained
one, is to get the current global.pref XML-related code into an abstract
property bag class. With a proper interface, this class could be used to
carry around preference settings. This involves a rework of the current
preferences code (radiant.ini) among other things.
