TMC Qsettings on Windows are stored in registry and not a file #53

Configured as is we are unable to locate a .conf or .ini file with the TMC server, user etc settings on Windows. The Qsettings are stored in the registry at HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> SOFTWARE -> TestMyQt -> TMC (as this seems to be the default option on Windows if no output file or path is specified).

This is not user friendly in the case of wanting to reset/tweak settings and should be reworked so the settings are stored in a separate defined file (most likely placed under the directory /Users/<user>/%APPDATA%/Roaming/TestMyQt) that can be referenced in documentation.
