[TBD] Create an installer for easier setup #52

We could create an installer that can be used to provide an easier way to setup the project. PCVR will probably be easy enough to be done by hand, but I guess especially mobile setups like Quest/Pico could benefit from a newb-friendly way to get them running.

I think of a GUI installer that helps with locating the Gothic installation directory (and picking another path when it differs from the standard one), editing the GameSettings.json by clicking some checkboxes, picking some paths and maybe more. For example, it could fetch required dependencies like adb and use them to move the game directory to the headset without needing additional user actions.

I think a manual is enough. Accessing Pico is simple. It logs in as a removable disk. And otherwise it works everywhere with SideQuest.

You do not have to change anything in the GameSettings of the Android devices. The path for the data is fixed. Or you can set the settings later through a menu ingame.

I think the effort to write an extra installer does not make much sense.
