World takes in a set of initial condition info ("ICs") when constructed. We need some data class that represents this info. I think the godot::ConfigFile worked well for this in pan-gaia. To avoid introducing a GD depdency into circular (as it's explicitly RefCounted and not a variant class), we would like some lightweight analogue without ref-counting or reference to the filesystem.
What
Expose a ConfigMap class that can be mapped 1:1 to a godot::ConfigFile. You do not need to provide the method to do this, as andrija will handle it. You also do not need to implement the load_ / save_ / parse methods in ConfigFile. There are 9 methods besides this in ConfigFile's public interface.
Notes
How should this be unit tested? The unit tests for godot::ConfigFile are both related to parse/write.
