proper frontend #3

Currently, we have a very, very, very basic one using YAD. This isn't cross platform, and it's missing a lot of things (it doesn't remember settings, for starters).

There are some considerations for any redesign, like what toolkit to use, what settings should be saved by the front-end vs if the quig game runner should save any settings itself, etc, etc.

There is now currently also a very, very, very basic PowerShell-based GUI for Windows users. Still, both the Windows and Linux GUI options need to be better -- in particular, at some point, a proper C#-based GUI for Windows will most likely be done.

quig-ui is now in development and is somewhat functional. Once it is reasonably "feature-complete", it will be bundled alongside quig and this issue will be closed.

quig-ui has been bundled with quig, but is currently not a cross-platform option. Once we have a port/rewrite of quig-ui that can work on Linux, this issue will be closed.

quig-ui is now known to work (with modifications) on Linux with Mono, just need to make these changes togglable and add a build script for Linux
