Graphic settings system

Description

Currently the graphics settings are determined by the defaults in system.cfg, modified by hand-written local.cfg, modified by what the hardware supports (based on GL extensions).

It ought to be based partly on performance, e.g. don't enable fancywater and pretty shadows by default on rubbish slow Intel devices (perhaps based on some benchmarking on first run, or a hardcoded list of common known devices?), and the user should be able to configure things in the UI and preferably see the changes dynamically and then save their settings.

We should also have better detection of invalid settings, like GLSL being enabled on an old system with no GLSL support. Otherwise this happens.

This ticket seems related to or maybe supersedes #145.

I'm going to close this since it's backlogged (thus, forgotten) and we have one now, even if it's not perfect.
