Feature request: ability to optionally inherent/load the settings from MangoHud.conf in game-specific configs #1332

If you have your default config tailored to how you want it, it would be nice to be able to load that file in a game-specific config file. This is useful because you can have many game-specific config files for various reasons. Currently, you have to: 1) copy-paste the default configuration settings in every file, and 2) keep updating every game profile individually in case you changed something in your main config file (MangoHud.conf).

Here's how it would look like for wine-Minecraft.conf for example, which I think is a more efficient approach:

# Load default settings
LOAD=MangoHud.conf

# Custom settings for this profile only, this would override anything from LOAD
fps_limit=120

You can use presets for this ~/.config/MangoHud/presets.conf

[preset 1]
gpu_temp
cpu_temp

and then in the game specific config

preset=1
fps_limit=120

Presets work very similarly. Thanks!
