Summary: ALL: "read_only" flag for the config file

Initial Comment:
I like to keep the games in my .scummvmrc or
scummvm.ini sorted, with comments about what they are,
how playable they are, etc. Of course, that's all lost
when ScummVM decides to write a new config file for me.

This patch is a quick attempt at adding a "read_only"
flag to keep ScummVM from ever trying to write the file
anew. Is this a reasonable idea? It will, of course, be
off by default.

While doing this, I noticed how badly documented the
config file format is. I've made an initial attempt at
writing something up, but there are a few keywords that
I don't know what they are myself.
